OK, I'm thinking about adding a passenger side factory style mirror. The factory installed a threaded plate in the drivers door for the mirror fasteners but the passenger door was optional. Does anyone know if the mount plate is in the door but just not drilled through the outer skin?

My car is a 1972... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I think it still has the original right door.


EDIT: I ended up using the punch from the bottom method but I like the pointed bolt from the bottom idea.
