I got a Talbot look-alikes for my wife's '70 1600 in April at R.D.
Enterprises .

290 Raub Road, Quakertown, PA 18951   USA
Phone 215-538-9323        Fax 215-538-0158         E-Mail rdent@rdent.com

I got the convex 440GT for the passenger side. Very quick turnaround and the
price was $40.95 delivered.

>From their WEB site:
==============
Classic 1960's style mirror  -  Triple chrome-plated housing  -  3 1/2" flat
or convex lens  -  Weight approx. 16 oz.
Two mounting base sizes: Small base approx. 1" x 2 3/4",    Large base
approx. 1 1/4" x 5"
Large base mirror is recommended for fiberglass bodies because the load is
spread over a larger surface area, helping to avoid cracking the gel coat.


GT400  Flat lens / small mounting base $33.95         GT500  Flat lens /
large mounting base  $36.95
GT440  Convex lens / small mounting base  $34.95   GT540  Convex lens /
large mounting base  $37.95
==============

I tried to get one from Cobra Restorers but after waiting more than 6 weeks
for them to get one in stock I gave up. They had the flat ones but not the
convex.

The only thing I don't like about these mirrors is that you have to unscrew
the bolt to adjust the mirror. Makes adjusting a pain.
