67 Dart Remote Mirror Demystified

Part 3...

Some notes...

The actuator where the glass attaches to has 3 holes that the cables go thru. There is a cable crimp on each one. This mirror had one if the crimps that pulled thru the aluminum mirror glass mount. I was able to get it back thru. You could probably make a small horse shoe clip to put under the crimp to prevent the crimp from pulling thru.

The scratched areas are where there was 4 small dollops of glass adhesive.

A question about a mirror not being tight is probably the crimps no longer being tight to the aluminum mirror holder

There is a spring in the joystick which if it was too loose it too might not allow the mirror to stay in positionView attachment 1715524582

I noticed that when the cables are laid out straight, the actuator head was excessively loose, curving the cables caused it to tighten up nicely.

The last thing I noticed was the actuator head had "R" "Y" "G" stamped on it, this corelated with the cable colors.

I tore one apart and put it back together and sold it , couldnt find any longer cables to use in it that I could rig. , and didnt want to spend a lot of time on it back when building my car , had too much to do .
