I am looking for advice on a good Raydot style mirror for my dad's 65 non-Shelby fastback. Is there more than one manufacturer for them? I am looking for the best replica out there preferably made in the USA or UK. Thanks for any input. You guys, all of you, are great.
Not sure how close this is to what you are looking for but here's a couple of pictures of a mirror I've had for around 45yrs.

That is the Talbot style . The Raydot/Raydyot style is like the picture. Branda sells them.
Thanks Bob.👍

There are many manufacturers today that make that style of mirror. It got the name because back in the day the only manufacture Raydot/Raydyot made them and had a trademark stamped into the topside of the metal case which is how you tell genuine from repro. At least for a good part of their production. The genuine Raydyot mirrors are out of production and sought after by those that only want original and not repro. The genuine command many times the amount that you can buy a repro for.
Okay thank you all for your help. I will go with Branda or Cobra Automotive and also pick up another set of trans am lug nuts.
I have a pair of original Raydyot mirrors that are a little rough but could possibly be restored? I honestly have no idea what they may be worth, I've had them for many years. PM me if anyone may be interested in them. Thanks, Malcolm.
