Driver side mirror drill template?, Looking for some help here fellas Options

[jersey914]

The PO filled in the mirror holes with "weld" and now the are unusable because they are full of weld material. I figured I would drill trough the weld material but that has proved impossible because of the lack of space and the fact that I Cant see well up in there. It looks like my best option is to drill from the outside and try to get as close the the right location as possible and then put some new lock nuts on the end of the threads from inside the door.
Has anybody created a good template for the OEM mirrors so that I can drill from the outside and be done this debacle? I want the mirrors mounted as close to spec as possible.

Please advise!!

If you can use a center punch on the inside and make a dimple on the outside you will have a target to drill on. Find the nuts inside the door. (If they are still there). Place the center punch as close to the center of the nut as you can and tap the punch lightly with a hammer. It will give you a small mark where you can then center punch from the outside and drill a reasonably accurate hole. Start with a small drill diameter.
