Heh. (The Big Reveal Is Here). Reply #49 – June 30, 2010, 09:41:31 PM Yes Scott…ol’ E Man found a source for NOS 1983-86 mirrors. I wanted to wait a few days to receive the mirrors before I said anything here. They just got here this morning. Upon close visual inspection, if they aren’t aftermarket new, they certainly are Ford NOS. The date stamp on the glass is 94, probably the last year of manufacture. Chrome is about as close to perfect as you can get. Glass is also excellent. Passenger side glass is convex as is standard. In short…these are the real deal.It also appears that the windsplitter from the 1987-88 models could be adapted to these mirrors. This is the newer mirror body design (1986-ish and up) with the extra screw hole in the mounting side, and the drain hole at the bottom. I haven’t tried to put the windsplitter in so buyer beware. It just looks correct to me.So how much were these, you ask?$25 US each, plus shipping. Yep. That’s it. And for right now the supply is plentiful for most styles. I suggest that anyone looking for show-quality or just plain new mirrors hop on these immediately.So without further ado, I shall reveal the sources. I can vouch for their positive feedback.Please read CAREFULLY as there are many different ones listed.(Don’t forget that black/grey ones are a lot more easily painted!).===============================================================1983-86, chrome, driver’s side (LH), electric - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-OEM-DOOR-MIRROR-COUGAR-THUNDERBIRD-83-84-85-86-NOS-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5d29aed2d1QQitemZ400131281617QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_500wt_9561983-86, chrome, passenger side (RH), electric - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-OEM-DOOR-MIRROR-COUGAR-THUNDERBIRD-83-84-85-86-NOS-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem230819947eQQitemZ150459749502QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_500wt_9561983-86, black/grey, driver’s side (LH), electric - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-OEM-DOOR-MIRROR-COUGAR-THUNDERBIRD-83-84-85-86-NOS-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5d29aed192QQitemZ400131281298QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_500wt_9561983-86, black/grey, passenger side (RH), electric - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-OEM-DOOR-MIRROR-COUGAR-THUNDERBIRD-83-84-85-86-NOS-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5d29aed515QQitemZ400131282197QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_500wt_9561983-86, chrome, passenger side (RH), cable remote - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-OEM-DOOR-MIRROR-COUGAR-THUNDERBIRD-83-84-85-86-NOS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem2308198e9dQQitemZ150459747997QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_500wt_9561983-86, black/grey, driver’s side (LH), cable remote - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-OEM-DOOR-MIRROR-THUNDERBIRD-COUGAR-83-84-85-86-NOS-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem23083bbd7dQQitemZ150461988221QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_500wt_9561983-86, black/grey, passenger side (RH), cable remote - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-OEM-DOOR-MIRROR-THUNDERBIRD-COUGAR-83-84-85-86-NOS-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5d29c343ebQQitemZ400132621291QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_500wt_9561987-88, chrome, driver's side (LH), electric - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150460066695#ht_500wt_9561987-88, black/grey, driver's side (LH), electric - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150460065927#ht_500wt_9561987-88, black/grey, passenger side (RH), electric - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-OEM-DOOR-MIRROR-COUGAR-THUNDERBIRD-87-88-TURBOCOUPE-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5d29aed76eQQitemZ400131282798QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_500wt_956Edited for additional links and model years.

Heh. (The Big Reveal Is Here). Reply #50 – June 30, 2010, 09:58:40 PM Oh, and I forgot to add this info...I've been looking for NOS mirrors for about 7-8 years without luck until now. So...yeah. Buy them now.Also, recently on eBay there have been a few RH chrome NOS cable remote mirrors for upwards of $100 US. One was at $200 US. The one listed here is almost a tenth of that. Quote Selected

Heh. (The Big Reveal Is Here). Reply #56 – June 30, 2010, 10:38:55 PM Jeremy, thanks for those links.For those that don't know, you can sometimes take a 1986-ish mirror and turn it into a 1987-88 type mirror. There's a difference with how the two-sided bolts are mounted to the mirrors.1983-86: bolts are directly in the mirror body1987-88: bolts are in the windsplitters, windsplitter is bolted to the bodyThere needs to be one extra hole in the body in order for the windsplitter to be mounted correctly. Early (1983-85ish) mirror housings didn't have that hole in the mold and couldn't be adapted correctly for the hole. Pretty much every 1986 mirror housing I've run across have had the extra hole. Therefore, one could take a 1987-88 windsplitter and mount it to a 1986 body, and make it work on the 1987-88 door.Again, it appears that the extra hole is in the 1983-86 ones listed on eBay.I'll try to dig out my mirror parts tomorrow and get some pix. Hopefully it works. Quote Selected
