    WTB: 1973.5 exterior passenger side mirror

    Hi,

    Looking for an original exterior ‘passenger’ side view mirror for a 73.5 in good shape. Rectangular style as in pic.

    Thanks,
    Mike

    FYI, that is a 74/75 style mirror and there are OE mirrors and excellent reproductions available for the right side. There are also correct 72/73 repros available if you want to put the correct mirror on the left side.

    Most important: do not use the same position on the right door for mirror installation, as it will not be visible from the driver's seat. Right side mirror is positioned several inches rearward so the sightline clears the a-pillar.

    Final point: 72/73 and 74/75 mirrors have the same base and mounting so you can use the correct mirror or the larger later mirror interchangeably.

    Is the smaller rectangular mirror Stoddard shows for 72/73 mirror correct for a 73.5? Mine appears to be the bit larger 74-76 style that has squarer corners. Thanks

    If you are looking to purchase the smaller correct mirrors for 72-73 I have an original left side mirror in nice condition and a never mounted right side accurate reproduction bought many years ago. Can send pictures.

    Do the existing access holes on the right hand door allow you to install the mirror in the correct position?

    The good news is that the holes, and even the base seal are identical.

    EDIT: if you are asking about the mounting that is indicated by access holes on the inner door shell then no, absolutely not. On a left hand drive car, the right side mirror needs to be several inches to the rear of where those holes would position the mirror. Otherwise the a-pillar will block your view of the right side mirror.

    Well, that's a big difference from my instructors who would have wanted me to put tape over the mirrors and only look ahead!
