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) |

Some debate as to whether there was a factory passenger mirror part number. I suppose the nuts were there for right hand drive cars... Like raynekat said: I don't believe there were ever RHD 914's. Also, the part number for the convex RH mirror is (was?) 914 731 040 10. Straight out of the parts katalog. LH mirror was 914 731 039 10. The real convex mirror is supposedly hard to find. |

Can you access the inner nuts without pulling out the window? I ask, as I have't pulled the panel yet to look, but have been thinking of adding the mirror too, as was considering being lazy, and doing a measure/locate from the outside.
