Found one!

And they are right down the road from me.
Going there today to get an idea of what needs to be done.

In regards to the glass piece ..not sure yet. I'm also going to a glass shop to see about that.

Fingers crossed folks.

You may have to do it as one piece and give up on the OEM swivel aspect.

Either way it will look the same on the VX, but the mounting will have to be adjusted if that is the case.

Good luck!

I could do the swivel,but then I'd have to go to a CNC machine shop to get replicas made of the internal hardware. and that would jack up the price.

I can do it as once solid piece and make an alternate set up to attach it with a few things from lowes/Home depot.

Maybe I should do a basic and an premium ver. ?

If I did do a True honest to god replica with the swivel you wouldn't be able to tell the diff between the original and the copy.

Honestly it all depends on how much it would cost..and is the market bigger in the VX world for a full on replica or a shell replica.

As far as I can tell the swivel on allows you access to remove and mount the base and the mirror.

Presumably if you broke the top part of the mirror you wouldn't need to remove the base from the fender, just the broken top portion. You would do this by swiveling the mirror to reveal the mounting pieces.

This is also where the screws go through the base and you bolt the metal mount under the fender. You can easily do this differently to make mounting the one piece mirror to the fender simple and easy. If you're not trying to remove or install the mirror there is really no need for the swivel. It's not something you use when trying to use the mirror anyway.

Really wouldn't be a big deal for me either way.

Can't wait even though the shipping is going to murder me and so will the wife !!

As an aside i had broken my mirror and the glass guys replaced it with a curved mirror from a Hyundai something or other, they just cut the shape and put the edging on and glued it in ..... a RHS one will be awesome
