Looks like you’ll be scheduling your engine starting party soon!
That is a great idea to pull the bearings in towards each other.
Jak, thanks for reposting some of my visor pics. 
I did a quick search at home and couldn’t find them right away.
Jim, I will measure my visors and get you an exact size.
I will also take more pictures of the mounting brackets and get some dimensions for you.
On page 56 and 57 of Restoration Supply Company’s catalog you may find a mirror that will mount to your base or act as a complete replacement.

I picked up this non-contact thermometer from Amazon for $19.
The unit seems to be very accurate and has a laser pointer so you can see exactly where you are getting a temperature reading.

Not a bad starting price for both cars.
I am missing one of these keepers on a spare.
I figured if I ever needed to use the spare I would just move the lock to it.
I would love to have another one so that all my wheels had them.
In my mind they must be needed otherwise so many manufacturers wouldn’t have gone through the trouble to use them.
David said he’s run without them for years but I would feel safer knowing the ring is securely held in place.
Who knows, maybe with modern tube and tire manufacturing processes the locks really are an unneeded relic of the past.
What a great car to find and restore.
Make sure to post plenty of pictures along the way.
Richard has set the bar pretty high for restoration updates.
A second thank you to Benjamin for going out of your way to grab some photos and post them here.
It is a great looking car.
The pictures show an amazing transformation of before and after.
All the wood preservation discussion is invaluable for future reference for someone digging into a lot of body wood restoration.
Keep the updates coming.
Did they get your permission to use your truck for their site?
Hey now, Corollas are about as reliable as your refrigerator – and just about as exciting.
If the lens in the photo is a TwoLite isn’t it installed upside down?
I used Lucas Tire in Long Beach, CA when I put on new tires, tubes and rim strips on back in 2006.
I have not had a single issue with any of the tires.
They may be a good resource for some info.

Our Pierce used to shimmy like crazy when you hit a bump going 25 – 30mph.
It was very worrying at times it shook so badly.
Checked the king pins, had new tires installed and balanced, made sure all the steering linkage didn’t have slop in it and then we took it to a truck alignment center that has been in business for 30+ years.
Not sure exactly which one of those remedied the problem but the shimmy has not been back for going on 8 years now.
If the part you are referring to is the one in the front, middle of the picture with the grease fitting on top, that connects the shock to the axle.
Steering linkage is the bar that can barely be seen in the pic and the angled linkage in the middle is for the brakes.

Everyone just needs to be vigilant with their emails and not open anything that doesn’t look right.
