26th-Z Posted October 6, 2018 Share #2 Posted October 6, 2018 For the uneducated, a "red-dot" mirror is what came with the very earliest imports and had a red dot in place of the symbol for the common day-night adjustment knob on the windshield mirror. It is listed in the North American parts book as 96321-E4601; assy - inside back mirror. "red-dot" mirrors have been discussed here before along with a great thread about replacing the glass in the mirror. If we go all the way back to Japan, the E4601 is listed for 1972 model years on. The earliest mirror is listed as E4100 which is probably not a day-night adjustable as it is specified for the ZS and PZR models. Now, the North American imports were very similar in specification (at least the early imports) to the ZS model. The "red-dot" is probably the E4600 version listed for the ZL, ZA, and PZ. E4601 is listed from 9-'72 on. $40 huh...? sounds pretty dogon good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patcon Posted October 13, 2018 Share #11 Posted October 13, 2018 What will you do about the mirror plating? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240260280 Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share #12 Posted October 13, 2018 It can be re-plated. The flat black spray paint to increase value on ebay will be more of a challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
