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) |

Not so easy in a LHD 914 driving on the leftside in the UK when all you see in the drivers door mirror is the sidewalk :-) Much much safer to have the passenger mirror I can tell you. |

"I tend to just turn my head" Not so easy in a LHD 914 driving on the leftside in the UK when all you see in the drivers door mirror is the sidewalk :-) Much much safer to have the passenger mirror I can tell you. I agree the car looks sleeker without the mirror, but with my 4 cars crammed in a 2 car garage (you know, projects, race car sideways in back, etc.) I have twice just touched the garage door on the pass. side slowly backing out, so finally decided it was time to do it. I made a paper template from the drivers side, flipped it over, marked the locations, drilled with 1/8th in. bit, and there they were. Whole operation was about 15 min. Thanks for the helpful posts! |
