    Is there a suction cap passenger side mirror for 72

    This may sound like a stupid question however I have a wonderful ex US car in a RHD country.
    I dont want to drill my passenger door metal, rip interiors , to fit a permanent.
    Has anyone been down this path.
    I can take some 'stick on the chin' on this but I shall take the time now to thank you all in advance.

    Mark,

    I understand about you not wanting to drill.... however, the re-pop (re-imagined) right hand small rectangle 2.4 type mirrors have come a long way in quality...

    Not much cancellation but what I've done without a passenger side mirror in a LHD country is place a 2" convex stick mirror on both the inside and outside mirrors I already have....

    Sorry, I have not heard of any practical and estheticly pleasing suction outside mirrors....

    The flag type would probably fly off. Why don't you try a glue on 935 type mirror. You can always use solvent to remove. They are light plastic and don't weigh much. Not esthetically nice, but at least you'll have a mirror.

    There exists a period accessory for a A-post mounted rear view mirror, seen on many english roadsters and also on some period Porsche. Neat item which is fixed securely w/o drilling and removable, UK product.

    Ya, these were a must add item in the 70's for my cars. Like the OP , I drive a LHD 911 in a RHD country ( Ireland ) and only have the drivers mirror, my solution is t be vry very careful changing lanes. I must add , my 1972 911 S has great visibility due to narror pillars, just need to turn my neck a lot !
