Hi, the body shop is ready to mount these and asked if I could get some initial measurements from somebody who has done this. I've seen 914's with the 911 flag style mirrors on them. Can someone measure and post some pics?

Thanks in advance,

Jim

Who has the measurements?
I have the 914. I have the flag mirrors. I have the flares.

Jim,

I know you are set on installing these, but unless the car has flares.. they end up looking like DUMBO ears on a narrow body 914. This is course my opinion and you can tell me to F-OFF if need be . They are severely disproportionate to the rest of the car.

Where does one buy the very fast ones mirrors?

Sorry, I don't know. It's hard to tell exactly what they are from the picture. The overall shape doesn't look like any factory mirror I can recognize. Probably aftermarket which usually suck.

It's a real challenge just to find mirrors that attach to the body anymore. Seems like 99% of them are built into the triangle at the forward edge of the door's window glass.

You guys can flame me , but I'm going to use late model Miata mirrors on my 914. The look just like late model 993 mirrors, but are a little smaller. I think they are more to scale with the teener body than the 911 mirrors.

NO flames from me. I looked at these mirrors for a 914 less than 2 weeks ago. I think they will work nicely.

they look like mirrors off a sportbike, go into your local
kawasaki/yamaha/honda/suzuki dealership, they should have something
similiar.
