I think I have also seen those referred to as 935 mirrors so perhaps search for something along those lines?
Google is your friend. Twelve seconds resulted in this plus more... http://www.gt-racing.com/935-911-rear-view-mirror-part-49/ https://www.**********.com/porsche-935-style-racing-mirror-set-p-10252.aspx. The asterisked out part is v e r t e x a u t o, no spaces between letters. |

DP Motorsport sell them but I went for Ruf in the end because they make left hand and right hand drive sets

The glass on the Ruf mirrors is also convex to give better visibility. I understand that the mirrors with flat glass is somewhat lacking, though one can adapt to the less rearward visibility offered by those mirrors.

GT Racing sell 935 replica mirrors. They use Vitaloni Sebring glass. You can get flat or convex glass online.
I use the Vitaloni Sebring as opposed to 935 style mirrors on my 911 for several reason: The Vitaloni Sebring was standard on all 934's, 935's, 936's, 956's and 962's, so this gives that mirror a true Porsche pedigree. The Vitaloni Sebring is also mounted further out, and gives a better rear view than the 935 style ones. I guess that is the main purpose of the mirrors... The Vitaloni Sebring fit right on the flag mirror bases with minor modifications, and look very factory. |
Fly911 - could you post a photo of your mirrors installed?

There is a pair on ebay.

I use flat mirror on the left and convexon the right.
|
As gumba says, they are on eBay ^^^^ But I’ve learned too many times, buy cheap, (often) buy twice. So I would do my diligence and watch their YouTube fitting very closely! |
The Ruf ones do fit very nicely
|
No doubt the Ruf /935 versions look very nice, but they are all but useless to effectively give the driver the fast look in the mirror information.
The flag post mounted Sebrings actually work quite well because of their location, even though its the same glass sizing as the Ruf/935 location |
