Iron Cross Mirror

While surfing the Mooneyes website I found the Iron Cross, or Maltese Cross as some people call them rear view, and exterior Peep Mirrors.


Mooneyes wanted $39.95 for the rear view, and the same price for one Peep mirror, and I thought that I could do better on the price.



While browsing through my local Pep Boys auto, I found out that APC has a version that looks exactly like the Mooneyes one for $33.00.




The price was slightly better but I thought that I could still do better. Once again eBay to the rescue! After watching a few auctions I ran across one with a low start price that only had one bid. I placed my bid at the last possible second and was able to score the APC mirror for $16.75 shipped to my door!

The Iron Cross Peep mirrors have been around $28.99 a pair on eBay. I'm still looking to get them a little cheaper. I missed one auction for a set that sold for $16.99, maybe I'll get lucky and get a deal like that later on down the road!

Let There Be Light!

These are the lights that I purchased on eBay. They are 5" in diameter, have a diamond cut lense, and a built in running light that I'm going to use as a turn signal. The bulbs are Hyper Whites and have a blueish tint to them when off. The current parking light bulbs that are installed in the lights are blue and will be changed out to amber ones to keep everything legal.

Flip Top Gas Cap

I wanted a flip top gas cap and tried to find something that wasn't too expensive. I went to the local boating place and they wanted $40.00 for a marine gas cap. I thought that was a little too much to pay. Bugpack has a flip top cap that sells for around $30.00 and I seriously considered purchasing it, however I thought that I could do better on the price.

My search led me to eBay and I spent a few weeks trying to find something for a song. After looking at the Mooneyes, and Triumph caps going for over $50.00 a pop I all but gave up. I amended my search parameters and low and behold I found several Jaguar caps going for cheap. The cap that I purchased is from a Jaguar XJ6 and I paid a whopping $9.00 for it!

Sears Rascal

Nice Rascal that was recently for sale on the Samba.
