Top picture shows the two styles of ordinary none dipping mirror. Bottom picture shows two types of dipping mirror.I picked another ordinary rear view mirror off eBay. Much to my surprise the fitting it different.
The stem ends in a female socket rather than a male ball (rightside of 1st picture) : the mirror has a ball on a stalk on back.
Now I can fit the dipping mirror I already have (not the one I got from David Pearson of http://www.canleyclassics.com/ that has a socket on the back) onto this new stem.
Job done!
David - thanks for taking the time to try to help. Problem now sorted. I never thought that
there would be so many variations on a theme. I thought Stanpart tried to standardise!
PS whilst visting Stafford TSSC International I noticed amongst the autojumble that there were plenty of rear view mirrors that could be bought and customised as I have done.
