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.

Fri, 27 Mar 2009

As global automakers such as Porsche put the finishing touches to their show cars in the run-up to the Shanghai Motor Show on April 20th, sister publication Interior Motives is doing the same with its exciting line-up of speakers as it prepares to host the second Interior Motives China design conference in the city the following day.

CAR Most Wanted of 2014: Mini Cooper S

Mon, 20 Jan 2014

By the CAR editorial team First Official Pictures 20 January 2014 14:00 The styling of the new Mini Cooper generated huge debate when we revealed the new hatch on CAR Online late last year. Some of you hated the bulbous, high-shouldered look, while others criticised the stylists for not moving the game on far enough next to rivals like the Citroen DS3 and Audi A1. The dust is still settling on that front, but there can be no argument over just how important the new Cooper is not just for Mini, but BMW’s future too.

A glimpse of the Audi TT RS

Sat, 21 Feb 2009

Yes, yet another in the endless teaser series that is an even bigger factor before Geneva next month than it ever seems to have been before. This time Audi is playing with artful shots of the Audi TT RS. But actually, this wasn’t planned yet, but after the pictures leaked out (the joys of the Interweb) Audi has bitten the bullet and released them officially.
