Guys does anyone know if there are oversized hinge pins that are longer for the mirror on 35-48 mirrors? I can find heaps of std length oversized pins. I don’t mind if I have to buy 2 mirrors to get the oversized pins. And can be curved or straight arms, stainless or painted black. Thanks Dan.
 
Dan,
Have you tried ThirdGen? I recently purchased the standard long mirror hinge pins for my 1935 truck. If Michael doesn't have them, he may be able to point you in the right direction.

What are the differences between the standard pin and the mirror pin? Is the knurl "pinch" also longer on the mirror pin?

If you mean a longer pin for the mirror as "oversized" that is true. Also my experience with the mirror pins that are sold with the mirrors also have a very large diameter swedge on top near the cap that may require that you grind off some the that swedge, since without that you may never get the pin pounded flush with the top of the mirror bracket. Do not force them in, just my experience.
 
Mirror pins are longer than std . But I’m also looking for oversize in the diameter so I can drill out my excessive worn hinges. Hope this makes sense. I was able to source oversize pins in std length so both of my lower hinges are now nice and firm, but o need to do the same in the top 2 hinges. The car is my 35 roadster Ute. Dan.
