Default 1964 remote mirror control housing

Hi guys:
Does anyone have one of these control units? Just the plastic housing.. As you can see one of the stands is cracked. 1964 grand prix. I need the top and bottom. Shipping to 94030
Thanks,
Mario64

It is plastic, hard to believe. I have 2 63 Pontiacs and both mine are metal. Try and but a metal one.

hi steve:
thank you for that offer; however i believe i have a fix for the split stand. see attached pic. i turned a sleeve and press fit it thereby keeping the screw from slipping in the split stand. it seems to be working.
thanks again for all the responses.

hi steve:
mine is plastic but now has some metal on it.....boy, it's tough to imagine that they saved .05 cents by making it out of plastic. i had a 76 skyhawk and it hat remote mirrors and their control housings were metal also.
thanks again.

guys:
update on the remote controller repair. after replacing the housings that were broken the replacements were too flexible so i had to redesign the controller housing to take up the slack. see picts.
ciao,
