Default Re: Mirror attachments

I added a passenger mirror on mine a while back. Mine had a reinforcement plate on the inside as stated by bigblockv6, but there were no welded nuts like on my driver door.

I took my driver side mirror off, taped on a piece of notebook paper onto the door and traced the bolt pattern and the forward and upper door edges . I then flipped the paper over and transferred the bolt pattern onto the passenger door. After drilling the pilot holes, I noticed I was about 1/16" off from the center of the existing holes in the reinforcement plate, so I made that adjustment when drilling the through holes.

My mirror hardware came with lock washers and nuts.

I really like it, especially when backing trailers.
