Well, I finally got around to taking some measurements. I did not take the mirrors off, but rather took measurements from 3 points on each door to the base of the rubber gasket. On this first picture...the key to the alignment is the yellow line...that line when looking at the car from the front should be vertical on both sides!
Also, for strength, you must use the 911 backing plate. I riveted mine on after having the holes cut in. Drivers side: Attached image(s)

If you were able to mount the 911 "Flag" mirrors, why not go with the 968 "teardrop" mirrors?

Brando,
I like the angular look of the flags...to me it matches the angular look of the car. |

When the Flag mirrors are added, are they manually adjusted or power as on my 911?
They look great on the 914!! Attached thumbnail(s)

You can do whatever you want on the power/vs manual. Mine are power but I haven't wired them up yet....

I have a line on a new pair that are reasonably priced; did you have to modify the base to fit ? Should the mirrors come with the back up plates ?
Where do you obtain the wiring harness and switches ? Thanks for the pictures, very helpful. Jim |

Jim,
Why is the mounting different on each side? |

Ok...some answers:
Jim_hoyland: No I didn't have to modify the base, and typically when you buy used 911 mirrors the backing plates are kept by the owner for the replacement mirrors. I got mine new for like 7 or 8 bucks apiece. The wiring harness came with my used ones and I had switches from a 911 project I did a few years ago. Tommy: they are in different positions for a few reasons....the passenger side is back more so they can be used by the driver...and the curve of the base is alittle different so it sits alittle different on the door. |

I wish to nominate this thread for classic status. Purely technical, well illustrated, and great explanation (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

Has anybody thought of mounting them farther forward on the door. To look thru the windwing instead of the regular window? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)
