For my 66 Monza, is there a source for the outside rearview mirror glass only?

Since mirror is flat, I assume any glass shop can cut you a piece.

These folks have an amazing line of replacement glass. I used
1986 Plymouth Horizon Passenger Side Mirror Glass - 3027 for my passenger side which is slightly convex. Someone here on the list had tracked it down, perfect fit and wider field of view. I would assume the Horizon drivers side is flat.Mirror Glass Plus

Thanks David. They didn't list the Corvair (big surprise) so I inquired through their contact process. They did have a listing for a 67 Camaro, I know the mirrors are similar, but I don't have one to compare to I have a buddy with one, I'll see if he can give me some measurements and maybe that will fit

If you need drivers side I would assume the other Horizon glass would work. There's also the option of going to a good glass shop and having one cut, did this years ago for a Renault.

I went with Convex mirrors on both sides, I really needed a wider field of view. I ordered bow tie mirrors for a 67 Camaro and the were an exact match of my original Corvair mirrors. One side of my 66 had slightly different mounting hole spacing but I was able to drill the new mount to accommodate the difference.
In my case 1 mirror would no longer hold its position and I really wanted to see more of what was on my sides. Very happy with the results, much more comfortable driving in traffic.

For non convex 2101.
