    I tracked down and bought a pair of Cromodora Astro mirrors to get my '75 Dino back to basics, but I need to source the correct bases for them. Preferably chrome (but would buy black) and with mounting holes 3 inches apart. Anybody have something around? I borrowed this photo from Ian as an example. Thanks Ian!
    Many thanks - Matt

    Hi Matt,
    Here are some measures and pictures. Length 92 mm, width 34 mm and between holes 76 mm. You also need gaskets between base and door. Might have some but could not find today. New garage.....

    Peter, you're the best. Thanks very much for including the specs. I'd like to buy two of the bases if you have them. If you can come up with some rubber (even used) I'd buy those, too. Very excited about getting closer to having proper mirrors on my GT4!

    Let me know what you need from me and I'll make it happen. Thanks again - Matt

    No problem, we will work out a deal. Will check for gaskets tomorrow. Think I know where they are now. You really need to have something between door and base.

    The gaskets are not rubber but black plastic and a couple of mm thick. You will get measures tomorrow, I hope. They are new.

    Peter - I finally got around to posting some photos of the bases I got from you. I had them plated and they are magnificent. I can't wait to build the Cromodoras and get them on the car! Thanks again - Matt

    Wow! Really excellent. Nice to see that they came out so well. Next I want to see a picture when they are on the car.
    All the best,
    Peter

    Peter- Here's a not so great shot of the installed Cromodora on the driver's side. I can't believe this difference over the Vitaloni, both in appearance and function.
    Thanks again for helping me put together some correct mirrors!
