guys I can see from inside the door where the holes go, but am looking for the proper way to drill down from the topside and get these holes right the first time.
Anybody have any ideas? Thanks! Jim |

I just recently did this on the factory six. I had the correct early outside mirror, and both Betty and I like having a right hand mirror on the car. So I used a transfer punch from the inside to mark the center of the holes. Then I used the same punch to push the dimples back down. I used a "C" Drill bit to make the holes. You can use a 1/4 inch drill bit if you don't have a "C", but it will be a little bit bigger. I then chased the threads in the nut plate with a 6x1.0 tap, as they had never been used before.
Make sure to paint the holes before mounting the mirror. Gotta keep the tinworm at bay. Good Luck! |
