That was a good price on those stainless mirror brackets, can you still buy them?

[paul roncetti]

Didn't get an answer back yet, but did you say they would fit a B81 door too?

[mackb67]

Having issues with the mackb67@bellsouth.net email account, sometimes I do not get an email for 24-48 hours. If i have received your email, then I have told you that the mirror mounts have been sold. Is there any way to delete one of these postings after the item has been sold?? I have not been able to find a way.

[j hancock]

You can edit it to say SOLD.

[Maddog13407]

didn't send an email just sent a PM on here a hour or so after you posted. not a big deal

[JumperAndSon]

I wish you had about six more sets. Those would be awesome for the wrecker and the B60 too. Oh well....

Seems to be enough interest to run another batch of mirror brackets.

I wonder what number a "run" would have to be?

[Maddog13407]

I dunno but there is still plenty of B models being done. id be happy with black powder coated as that's what 99% of B models had after 1962. Delbar black painted one, before that most were bicycle mirrors or generic brackets like retracs. the last pair I bought was about 125 or 150 a side. cant remember if it was from Barry or Tidewater. I have bought brackets from both.

[mackb67]

My apologies to all, I was not aware of the PM icon at the top of the page until just now.

[paul roncetti]

Hi mackb67, Do you have any pictures of the brackets so if they could be fabricated, Thanks, Paul

[kscarbel]

These mirrors were produced by long time Mack Trucks supplier Delbar Products (established 1947 and headquartered in Perkasie, Pennsylvania).

I thought to point out that in 2008, Spain’s Ficosa International S.A. purchased Delbar (another iconic American manufacturer now under foreign ownership).

Ficosa is the supplier to Volvo Truck and Volvo’s Renault brand, and thus since 2008 Volvo's Mack brand.

Ficosa has closed Delbar's three manufacturing facilities in Crossville, Tennessee. All manufacturing for North America is now done in Mexico, at Salinas Victoria and Escobedo.

While Delbar might have done a run, I doubt that Ficosa would even entertain the thought. And in any event, do you really want Mexican mirror brackets on your B-model?

Tom Gannaway had 50 or 75 pair made a few years back. Maybe he'll see this and chime in or somebody can get ahold of him..

Never did get a response out of Barry on the B81 emblems,so maybe they aren't wanting to commit to any more repro stuff.

Around 2002 I bought a set off of Tom I gave $160.00 for a set, wish I would have bought a few sets now. kinda like those wing vent windows that went outa site.

[Maddog13407]

yup I could have retired off vent windows. last pair I bought was $250 a pair

[Mike]

Can the vent windows be rebuilt?

I spoke to Tom a year or so ago and he did not have any brackets left. He had 100 sets made up and stated that is was a big headache. The brackets came in separated boxes so you had to go to each box to make up the set. And in the end the numbers of each part were not the same.

If you could get someone to fabricate them I think you could sell plenty. The problem is putting up the money for the initial purchase and then hoping you sell them to get your investment back.

[Maddog13407]

yes the vent windowns can be rebuild. the rivets can be taken apart, parts rechromed and new rubber installed. onlu problem area is the latch pivot. I suppose someone could make the pivot part up on a small lathe if you have the handle
