Bob, no part #. He's all out of them and the ones he shipped to me did not have it. If you like I can send you a pick, let me know.

Imma tinkin that "plate" is most likely part of the door panel itself, and not part of the "Remote Mirror" assembly.The backing plate does NOT show up in the Parts Manual at all....and therefore also does NOT have a part number assigned to it. I would assume it was installed on the door panel as it was assembled by the manufacturer(not GM), and was used across the board, whether the car was to have remote mirrors or not.... Question

Joel, I had the same thought. The problem comes about with a new door panel. At least the ones I got from Corvette Central. Can't comment on other suppliers. They did say to keep all hardware from original doors but mine were long gone by then.

I attended the door panel installation seminar put on by the folks from Corvette Central at Carlisle and asked about that plate. The installer who was giving the demonstration didn't know of the part# or whether it was available. Maybe it was supposed to come with mine?

If you need the plate let me know and I'm sure I can get you one from Steve.

I doubt any of the door panel repro suppliers will have that plate to install, nor will they have a source for them....which is why they all say to keep yer old stuff. Of course, iffin yer old stuff is already gone, whachagunnado?
Either find a used one, or make yer own. You managed to find another one(or two), so yer good to go. Demand for those things would have to be really high for anyone to tool up to make them....which is why they don't. Best bet is to just make yer own, and be done with it if ya cain't find good used ones.

Joel, If I would have had one I could have easily made one up...or at least rigged a piece to work. My next step would have been the trial and error method. Since I found two I saved all that valuable yelling and cussing time!

But...that's half the fun, Dave!!! LOL

If you haven't already mounted them, could you make a template, and save it? Sure might come in handy for others... Wink

I have the original GM parts manuals for Corvette from '53-'82, and from '84-2000.
