Rear view mirror post ID

[Brad]

 Can anyone tell me if the internal rear view mirror support post is different on the van as opposed to all other models?
       I would have thought they would all be the same.
   Part  # 7408242
  Thanks Brad.

Hi Brad,
I think you will find they are the same.
Cheers,

It possibly is different for the van, since panel vans did not have an interior mirror from the factory and were fitted by dealers as an accessory.
I first noticed this oddity with pull-to handles which are an accessory on all but business sedans. I managed to find some NOS handles in boxes and there were two different part numbers - one for the factory fitted handle and one for the accessory.
So it is not really unusual if the accessory internal rear view mirror has a different part number for the stalk

     I didn't know that the vans had no mirror from factory. I'm only asking as there's a very good looking one on E-bay at the moment. That's where I got the part # from.
       I think your on the right track re mirrors being outsourced as I dug around and found the mirror from my van and It looks non Holden. No part # and no GMH stamp anywhere. It looks English . Austin maybe as it's small and rectangular  :-/.
     So it seems I don't have to worry about a mirror as I want to keep the car as standard as possible  :)
      Graham  I think you'r right an FC mirror is an FC mirror and they'r all the same.
   Thanks for the quick replies
     Brad.

Brad,

That part number you mentioned is indeed the right one for the "Support - rear vision mirror" component on FE/FC.

However, as Ken suggested, there is a different part number listed amongst the accessories: "Rear vision (Glareproof internal) - FE/FC - 7406463".

cheers
