Not as classy or stylish as the 69 IMHO   Basically a stalk/stem and a retaining bezel. The Bezel has a "step" in the design unlike the 71 version


Sorry the pictures are not clearer - too far back :(

We sell that replacement mirror knob or wand.

https://secure.cougarpartscatalog.com/68wand.html

It is an exact reproduction of the 1970 Sport mirror remote knob. It is a dead ringer for the 1968 knob. Clearly too big of a ball, and the overall length is longer than found on 1969, and 1971-73 mirrors.

Thanks.

Would try to find the original first. Also do like original parts, but nice to know that if all fails.... ;)
