Would anyone have a working one of these lying around? I don't need the whole mirror, just the tilting mechanism. I opened one up to see if it could do with a rebuild, but I seem to have broken part of the casing in the process. As a result it won't stay sealed.

Ooh, never seen inside one of those before!
it MUST be off some other more commonly available car, surely that's not a bespoke item...
Are there any manufacturer's marks or anything anywhere on it?
Some of the 'high spec' Delorean bits ( as electric mirrors would have been in 1981) were Jaguar bits - could be a starting point anyway...? Or Lotus Esprit? But again, probably borrowed from something more common...
FWIW I posted a big write up on Mirror repair on DMC Talk - it won't help you much with this problem though :-(
The thread includes pictures of the motor and the following text ... ...
The motor can be removed, by unscrewing the 3 phillips screws. Interesting enough there are 5 plastic fixing lugs. the D only uses 3 of them. The motor has the following numbers stamped on it 102060 in one place, and 102063-2 in another location of the motor. I wonder if this is a generic motor used in other applications?
