1957 1958 1959 1960 1961 1962 1963 1964 CADILLAC mirror mount spring Washer, US $5.00, image 1
“Slight surface rust.”
Part Brand:GENRAL MOTORS Cadillac Buick Oldsmobile Surface Finish:Blued Steel Spring Placement on Vehicle:Front Warranty:No

  Listing here is for ONE (1) only mirror mount wavy spring washer used to adjust tension between the inside mirror stem and the mirror arm.  By being sandwiched between the mirror stem and the end of the mirror arm on the mirror, it allows adjustment tension of the up-down movement of the mirror itself without letting the mirror flop around unattended.  Display of others is just to show that we have accumulated a few of these extra over time.  We have found no replacements for the wavy type spring washers in this thinness for this application.  Too often lost these are more difficult to find than the mirrors themselves.  I don't glass bead the surface rust off these as too much heat can ruin the spring tension in them.
  Note that the correct mount Screw for this application can also be found in another of our eBay listings.  Both are listed separately from our Cadillac Mirror Stems' listings in case your mirror mount screw or wavy washer is lost and you actually need a screw or washer for this application.
  These are likely applicable to some Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Buick General Motors cars and maybe they were used more years than from our experience from 1957 until 1964 such as 1955 1956 or 1965 and 1966; but we don't have references for them other than 1957-64 Cadillac.  
NOTICE: in the third picture there is shown the mount screw and wavy washer and also shows a dished external lock washer.  We found only this lock washer used on the 1957 (or earlier) Cadillac mirror stem and none since that year.  But the lock washer was very helpful (when used) to keep the mirror adjusted to good performance and not difficult to move nor left flopping on its own.  I don't have source for these dished lock washers but have found that flat star lock washers can be used successfully for this application if they are not very thick nor too stiff; and will often curve adequately into place when installed.
  Look to another of our listings if you also need the special mount screw.  E-Mail questions.  PayPal available and required by me from bid winner outside the U.S.A.  Winner pays $2.00 USPS 1st Class S&H and $1.00 Insurance within continental U.S.A.  Outside the U.S. e-Mail with complete delivery address (not just country) for shipping calculations.  Returns only allowed for items delivered not as described in the listing.  We always try to combine shipment of multiple purchases to help save the purchaser on shipping cost.

Analysis: why GM is pulling Chevrolet out of Europe

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

The news that Chevrolet is to leave the western European car market (while staying in eastern Europe and Russia) is not a huge surprise, but it provides an interesting contrast to the success of fellow Koreans, Hyundai and Kia. “Fellow Koreans?” you might say, “but isn’t Chevrolet American?” Yes and no. The Chevrolets we were getting were all made in Korea in the factories that used to be owned by Daewoo, except for the handful of Camaros and Corvettes, which were authentically American.

New Honda NSX at Tokyo Motor Show in November?

Wed, 12 Oct 2011

New Honda NSX could arrive next month at the Tokyo Motor Show Isn’t it strange how some cars are never appreciated fully when they’re in production? Take the McLaren F1. It’s now perhaps the most desirable modern classic on the planet, with cars selling north of £3 million.

Japan Car: Designs for a Crowded Globe

Thu, 04 Dec 2008

The Science Museum in London, UK is hosting the Japan Car: Designs for the Crowed Globe exhibition, sponsored by seven Japanese automobile manufacturers. An exploration of the car as a 'mobile cell', the exhibition has been conceived by graphic designer Kenya Hara and architect Shigeru Ban to show how Japanese design reflects the 'soil and spirit' of Japan, depicted by concept cars and models specific to the Japanese market. Speaking to Car Design News, Shigeru Ban explained how the automobile was chosen as the central element to the exhibition because it is a reflection of Japanese culture and tradition.
