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) |

The cars were manufactured with the capture nuts in the door for a reason.
I use the right hand mirror constantly and I think the car looks better with two mirrors. |

The cars were manufactured with the capture nuts in the door for a reason. I use the right hand mirror constantly and I think the car looks better with two mirrors. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) When I worked in a Porsche dealer parts department in 1976, I noticed that under the fitment column in the parts catalog, the mirror was listed as L/R, meaning left or right application. That is when I mounted a right side mirror on my car. It is an important safety measure, and with a small spot on it, the right side mirror gives a useful view. |
