Okay, so I own my dads 63 Srs 3, GT. Back in the family after being lost for 27 years. When dad bot it, it didn't have a driver's side, a move to Riverside in 65 he added the mirror-not sure why, bet it was La traffic related. I'll ask him he's old but sharp. So the Talbot mirror is currently mounted the back of the left fender, adjacent to the cowl. First-is that the right location? Next-the holes drilled-likley by my dad-are approx 1/4" and threaded into the sheetmetal. As you know threading sheetmetal means you have very few threads as the metal is thin so the mount if weak, and the mirror has a lot of movement due to vibration. The other issue is I cannot figure out how to get into the cavity the mirror is mounted over. I need to add a backing nut(s) if possible. But the access to this area is not known to me. There is an access hole to the left of the pedal area-that only gets you to the space behind the door hinges. Any ideas? Moving the mirror means I have two holds in the sheetmetal..cars not perfect so I can hide until the next paint project-someday.. Looking for ideas? Thanks all.
