Thanks for the numbers. But here's a follow-up: does the right-side mirror
fit into the USA-model housing?
Good to know that they are easily replaced. If nothing else, the driver's
side on mine needs fixing, due to the lack of defrost/demist capability.

Re: rear brakes: I thought one was only dragging slightly - I was wrong - I
drove the car yesterday, and the pads were smoking when I pulled into the
garage. Not much, but enough to piss me off. I suspect that I've totally
dorked up that caliper. I've read on the list that folks rebuild them at
home with a kit, and I'd do that - but I'd also source cheap rebuilts if I
were pointed in the correct direction. (Not-so-subtle hint, LOL.) Then I
could rebuild the old ones at my leisure for use at some future time.
Thanks again for the info.
