Here are the Escort mirrors. The mirrors plug right in. As said, the bottom has to be cut off about 3/4", but not difficult at all. I used the Festiva switch.
Got a valve job on my 92L; head was machined; 2 bad valves replaced; seals replaced. now running with Amzoil oil and Mach3 Super Eco Fuel Saver (that stuff is awesome!); replaced the leaking A/C condenser; new belts; recharged the A/C; new timing belt cover gasket; and new 6*9 woofers under the front seat with enclosures for some bass. And detailed with DWG's Ultra-Ion "Waterless Car Wash". Even have an original Alpine Industries 12V ozone generator for that "fresh air" inside too. And there you have it!
^^ Switch no, though early ('88-'92) 626/MX6 switches are plug and play, I've heard also some 323s and Tracers as well but I've never used them. The mirrors plug right up, have to cut about 3/4" or so off the bottom to bolt on, and only two bolt holes line up. You can drill the third, but I never found it necessary (the springs in the mirrors take up most of the shock if it gets bumped).
Yesterday, installed my flywheel and clutch along with the trans I got from Jerry (thanks!) on the motor and dropped it all back into Chuck. Then quick (15 min) headgasket replacement and started putting things back together. Realized that I didn't have a new throttle body gasket (which apparently the parts stores all call TBI gasket?) so I had to put in on hold till today when I'll be picking up a new one. Depending on what time I get off work tonight he may be running tomorrow morning, but should be by the weekend at the latest
Quick exhaust fix using thin rolled sheet metal and 2 hose clamps to get me by until I can weld it back together at work tomorrow. Drove it to town to pick up some plumbing supplies. Yay running water!
