I'm a newbe on the T's. just bought a 26 touring. I am blind in on eye so I must have an outside mirror for my Indiana driver's license restriction. I purchased the heave mirror bracket from Snyder's that is different per year. I however cannot find the correct mounting holes for this bracket. Thus do I have a different year windshield? I thought about the clamp on style. But everyone say the vibrate badly and you can not see out of them. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thx Steve

Haven't used that style before. But have a pair of Antique Motor Sport mirrors on the '27 touring.

The curved mount is very secure on the stanchion, and mirror head is nice size. Did replace the Phillips screws on the mirror head with single slot as a bit anal about modern fasteners on the Ford

Found with the top up, the arm a bit short, so added a 3' flat bar extension for the mirror head. Rather stable for T, but the mirror picture will distort with the normal shake the T provides at certain speeds!

You have to replace the stud used for the lower windshield half with a longer version (maybe 3/4 inch longer). The bracket mounts counterintuitively, upside down. It is held in place with the lower windshield wing nut. I took mine off my car when I showed it for the Grand National. Sorry, but I don't have a photo of it in place on my car. Send me an email if you need any guidance. All the best.
