Rearview Mirror Assembly

I'm looking for a rearview mirror assembly mirror/interior lights for a 1981 RX-7. Anyone have one for sale or know where the best place to find one. I never should have taken the old one off. The mirror will not tighten because the screw hole is messed up.

Thanks
Neal K

Best thing to do is place a WTB ad in the 1st gen classified parts section. New ones are very expensive.

Well I have a solution that may upset some purists... I cut the aluminum off so that it was flush with the light assembly - polished and painted it. I then used a 10$ unit from autozone that attaches to the windshield. Solves all the vibration/shaking issues with the stock (even when all rubber is in place - including the short one to the windshield)

i find the stock mirror small and shakey as mentioned. i have a broadway rearview mirror on top of stock one. never thought of mounting to windsheild now this gives me a reason to take off the visors.
