    There is no such thing as a RH door mirror for a 72/73 911
    RHD cars used a round mirror from a 71 or earlier car. All 72/73 LHD
    Cars only had A mirror on the left door.

    Regards

    I know that Jim is correct but when I got my '72 many years ago it had a matching chrome on the passenger side. It was somewhat smaller that the drivers side but I lived with it. Those mirrors aren't all that helpful as it is but I left it because of the holes it would leave. I came across a RH mirror at Sierra Madre some years later that was the same size as the LH mirror and I grabbed it. I failed to ask what it actually belonged on but I was happy with it and everyone who looks thinks it belongs there.

    There are very good reproductions now available, and that's likely what you have. Sadly, whoever mounted this particular right side mirror put it where it is virtually useless instead of several inches to the rear - where it can be seen by a driver.

    If you got that mirror a a few years ago, it was a mirror made by Tasker metal products and the quality is a bit sketchy. I quit selling them because of that.

    Ciao

    The Tasker mirrors are easy to spot. They have very thin skin, too shiny and the crimping around the glass is never smooth. Better repros have come on the market since, including one sold by Porsche.

    That is exactly what I am after. A L and R matched set of non powered flags. I know that the 74-77 had them, although in black. which will work for my application
