So, we will review this post thoroughly, pull some parts from stock and determine what we can do to correct the issue.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

$40.00 for a pair of mirror gaskets??? WTF!!!
Classic Industries is rearing it's ugly head towards being more like Year One. A mega establishment caring less & less about their customers and care more about volume. Keep stocking crappy items knowing that they're faulty but hoping that only a small % of customers squeak vs the ones that don't.
You're right DMT is a great company and here's their gaskets at $10.00 a pair.

Hello everyone at FBBO.
Just wanted to follow up to let you all know that we are working on this issue presently. We value our customers greatly and strive to be the best supplier we can be.
We will always do our best to make things right. People can order with confidence knowing that we offer a 100% Satisfaction or Your Money Back Guarantee!
Classic Industries also offers these mirror gaskets that one member mentioned.
At the time of this posting, these gaskets are priced at $9.99 pair on our website.
We do our best to ensure that our prices are very competitive, but on the chance that we are higher on an item, we offer a Price Match Guarantee.
Feedback from our customers is very valuable. Classic Industries currently carries hundreds of thousands of products from thousands of different suppliers.
We work every day to ensure that we are offering the very best products that the industry produces (at the right prices) and that we have most popular items that our customers might need... in stock, for your convenience.
Whenever we get feedback, we always investigate to determine if there is anything we can do differently to improve either our service, our selection, the price, or quality, etc..
And, we encourage people to contact us and let us know whenever there is room for improvement in a product, so we can provide our suppliers with the knowledge they need to correct any known issues.
In the case of these mirrors, we have investigated the issue and have determined what we can do to correct the problems that the OP was experiencing.
Armed with this new information gained from the feedback here at FBBO, we will be taking the following steps to enhance the customer experience.
Effective immediately, we will remove any remaining inventory from stock and will return it to the vendor with our recommendations for correcting the issue.
In the meantime, we will be changing suppliers, and this should correct the issue that the OP had with the mirror not having enough adjustment to the left for a 1973-74 B-Body. We have identified the proper screws, and base gasket and will be adding them to each mirror set as well.
We appreciate the feedback we have received from everyone at FBBO, please let us know if there is anything else we can do.
I have reached out to the OP through a private message here at FBBO to determine if I can be of further assistance to him as a product specialist. I have not yet heard back from him.
Nevertheless, we are working on getting the issues corrected. Thanks to FBBO.
yeap, diff between 71/72 and 73/74 but just as far I know for B bodies. E bodies are 71/74 the same. 70s are diff monster, being more narrowed on outer ends AND 70s E use the riveted nuts inserts. Then B bodies got the backing plate on both kind.
the diff betwen 71/72 and 73/74 B is the pedestal shape to acomodatte the diff screws provisions
and of course the selftaping screws are wrong for this, they must be machined with small oval head.
these are the ones I got and worked PERFECT with my stock 73/74 backing plate.

For what its worth I've had a problem with classic ind'.. which to be fair they did resolve ...after a time. I then went to " 521 restorations" with a few questions re his stock / products etc. I messaged him on a Sunday.. he replied the same day. Now for me I have to put faith into my transactions as shipping / descriptions/ quality are all factors and it's very hard and costly for me to return items. Rest assured Jeff over at " 521 " is a genuine man of his word and true gentleman. Weve all been there and like a bargain mate but these days I'd rather pay a bit extra as my cheap mistakes usually cost ...
Let us know how they fit and pictures.Just came across this thread, bought a set for my 72 Charger, agreed gaskets are useless and the screws are definitely useless.
Think I will try and install them on my doors tonight.

In case you can't tell the repro is on the left; my original on the right has a bad replacement mirror over top of the original cracked mirror.
