Tony,

I did like the mirrors when I got them, but the pass mirror does not adjust far enough to work at all.

I am now looking at the round ones that AR has. Assuming that work just fine.

I do like the shape of these. may try to mess with it to make it work

Ill let you know.
Where in Oakland are you. I work at Kaiser Mac/Broadway. I drive in some days. meet for a beer.

Beer, did someone say beer...???

Not to butt in, but grabbing a beer with some Fiat guys in the Bay Area? Let me know when and where, and I'll gladly join if you're open to extending the party.

18fitas,
You mentioned on another post about the jingling sound I described at the lower front of motor.

Must confess: not the alternator, oil pump, loose timing cover.
mope, it was the air pump: loose bracket, since I do not use it and left it there. will pull it out tomorrow. To be replaced in 2 years for next smog check: long story but good one//

cheers.

Geo, thanks for the update. I'm always curious as to whether the issue was resolved, as some posts ask a question, which is then answered, but we never find out what the outcome was.

Anyway, glad you got it fixed and no more jingling sound. Since all my current Fiats are pre-smog, I tend to forget the issues I had in the past with emission control systems.
