RH mirror for C body

[SF-66TC]

The hole at the back of the chrome base is where a screw is used to secure the mirror. I needed to mark and drill a hole for a stainless Phillips head screw.

I understand that the base has 1 hole to secure the mirror to the body via a stainless phillips head screw (as you mentioned), but what about the stud with the nut (that holds the base together).

In Commando1's photo it looks like the stud and nut protrude from the bottom of the base or is it really flush and sits inside the base?
I'm asking because I sourced a mirror asm, but it doesn't come with any hardware; stud, nut, screw or gasket...

Then you'll need to round up the hardware and especially the gasket.

I have a 68 fury parts car with a factory passenger door mirror. I sold the mirror, and the doors. It was in the same location as the drivers side.......

Thanks for the response Jason

Missed ya. Where have you been?

The forward hole in the mirror housing has a Phillips head screw that both fastens the adjuster and holds the base in place against the housing. The threaded stud screws into the mirror housing and passes through the base (not attached to the base) and into the car door where the nut secures the front of the mirror assembly from inside the door.

Fred,

Did you get your RH mirror from that '67 (2door/red top)? How was the chrome? Steven

The thread with pics of the car is below. The chrome can be best described as decent driver quality. Somewhat worn and hazy but good at 10 feet.

So does anyone have a source for reproduction passenger side mirrors. I'd like to leave the car as stock as possible, but I really think it needs a passenger side mirror for safety and backing into my garage. I really hate drilling mounting holes though. I saw a few on ebay that looked decent, there's a reproduction one for $200. but I can't see paying that much for a mirror.

Keep in mind that on the 65's at least, the right outside mirror was properly called a "companion mirror" and was there for the passenger's convenience, that's why it can't be adjusted for the driver's vision. I spent a lot of hours trying to line mine up so I could use it until I found that little tidbit.

Thanks Mike, that's interesting, if that's the case I won't even bother. I really hate drilling holes in the fender anyway. I want to leave the car as original as possible too, so if it's been like that for 52 years maybe I'll leave it alone.

"Companion" mirror for "the passenger's convenience"? That doesn't sound right.

I didn't wanna say it......... I agree

This isn't an issue with the standard manual mirror on the right hand door, it is only an issue with the Companiaon Mirror to the Remote Mirror.
This wasn't an issue with the later mirrors.

Im guessing that Chrysler simply took the drawings to the remote mirror and simply mirrored them, then made the mirror less the remote hardware.
I bet if you look at the mirror it moves just as much as the other but that isn't enough when trying to use the mirror from the opposite side of the car.
