They're actually called Tex Springback mirror stems. I have a set (stems and
heads) on my 3A and they work as advertised. Problem is the front wing mirrors
are hard to see so I added a baby-on-board convex mirror to the windshield. It
cost around $5 and mounts with a suction cup.
Anyway Tex is here : http://www.texautomotive.com/classic_mirror_stems.html
Hope this helps,
