Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Norman said the car never had the center rear view mirror but the post is there. Is that the correct post ?  [/ QUOTE ] Great car for historical purposes! My L78 is an 01C car and has that same early rear view mirror mount. It sucks for trying to hold the mirror in place, but that looks correct. I ended up mounting a 69 style mirror from the ceiling for safety reasons and it didn't hurt the headliner at all so I'm happy for now. The stock 2 piece mount will start to banana over time and won't hold in place. The early 70 cars had that mount before they changed to the later style that lasted through most of the 2nd gens. I would leave that mount alone for now. [/ QUOTE ] <font color="red">That is the correct '70 only mount. Do you have the mirror and adjuster bracket for it? Once in a while they pop up on Pee bay. Keep looking and you will come across one </font>

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.
  I've seen leather protective caps like this used on electrical sending unit contacts,connections & junctions to protect them from shorting out.Based on where you found it,I'm guessing maybe it came from something electrical on the firewall,an engine compt.light,or even the idle solenoid pot below.

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.
I would rather not replace the mirror since it was missing when sold new. Just kinda cool history.

Re: really cool 70 Z28..simply the best.
Popping the Mirror on may have been part of the Dealer prep?
