Outside rear view mirror
« on: May 29, 2020, 05:52:56 PM »
I just found a outside rear view mirror with a casting number of NH 151339 & glass date of 7 D-AX-9. Any thoughts on this one? Thank you, Joe

Correct sounding casting April 69 Ajax if I recall?

Mine says 7 DMI 9 which I know the 7 is July and 9 = 1969. What does the DMI mean vs. the DCA  or in this case D-AX letter designation?

Ok that you for the information, that clears it up a little. So DMI was the primary supplier and than Ajax was the secondary. What about the the mirrors that say DCA would that be an over the counter supplier years after 1st gens were made?
