Thinking of putting a side view mirror on pass side of my '73. If I remember correctly when havin the panel off, the nuts are welded in place on the inside for the screws aren't they? Even though it would pain me to do it, you could drill from the inside through those to create the holes?
Can you just turn the mirror around to use a spare mirror from the driver's side, or it a different part number for right (pass) side? I may chicken out when it comes to drilling the holes though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

Use the internal punch method to mark the exact positioning, drill from outside in ever increasing drill sizes 2.5mm up to 6mm to check you’re not drilling off centre and cutting into the captive thread. (If you go off centre you have time to recover it at small drill diameter using a swiss rat tail file to get you back on track).
