65 coupe l/hand door mirror update

[Charles M.]

I'm looking to update (NCRS) my door mirror with the correct width mirror retaining ring, does anyone know where I can get one new or used.
Thanks

I made mine by using the wider ring and slowly and carefully grinding it down all the while using a caliper and checking often.

Russ, I thought about taking it to a machinist and see what ideas they could come up with, what is the correct width, did you use a bench grinder ?
Thanks

Yes, I used a bench grinder. I have a spare one that measures .100-.105. I don't know if this spare is an original or one that I ground down but if it is a ground down one I would have used an original to copy.
