Is it a thing to use period correct 911 mirrors on 914s?
Part#: 911-731-013-10 Are these larger than the 914 mirrors? Does anybody know if they fit the same bolt hole pattern? Thanks. George |

These 911 mirrors have mounting screws that mount from below and thread into the mirror. This would mean pulling off the interior door panel and trim for access.
The 914 mirror screws in from the outside into nuts that are welded to the door, no need to pull the panels. The welded on nuts exist even on the right side, although the pilot holes are not normally pre-drilled through the door skin. I think RH mirrors were a dealer option. Even if the bolt pattern of both mirrors matched, you would need to remove the welded nuts or drill them out for clearance holes. Putting the 911 mirrors on would not be a five minute swap job. |

Now I just need to source one driver quality exterior 914 mirror. Thank you everybody for your input. George |
