QUOTE(Arno914 @ Feb 8 2021, 06:09 AM)  Before putting the right hand side mirror on I would check if the position suits your viewing needs. Since it is in the same space as the drivers side mirror, you might end up looking against the window frame hiding your newly attached mirror. The stock door mount placement with the "rare"stock passenger side mirror works just fine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) After I bought my car at the Porsche dealer I worked at in 1976, I noticed that the 914 parts manual indicated L/R fitment for the outside mirror, which meant it could be used for left or right side. (The factory parts book also listed the convex right side mirror.) I measured and drilled and found the captive nuts in place and mounted a mirror right up.
Add a 1" convex round mirror to the right side one and you will have an excellent view.  |

"No debate at all in fact! They were required equipment to have mirrors on both sides on cars in Sweden back when new `69-76, & a few other countries too (& RHD ones, as Kansas said), plus a factory or dealer supplied option on any 914 when new.
In fact have a brand new Porsche part pass. side mirror - which is slightly convex for pass. side (I bought 2 new L & R a couple of years ago), & AFAIK they're still available from Porsche new .... at a Porsche price of course." I found this here in another discussion. Some strong points in favor of a factory hand in two mirrors. |
