Passenger Side mirror mounting bracket?

Post by canada karl »

Is the mounting bracket inside the door for the drivers side mirror the same mounting bracket for the passenger side mirror? Assuming it is ,does anyone have an interior mounting bracket that they could part with?

As I mentioned I have th late style. I am not sure if that will work on a 76, which is what you are looking for, I believe. Does anyone know if they interchange?

The brackets are unique per side. The brackets are also specific to certain mirrors as well.
When I swapped the black plastic mirrors for the '78 chrome style mirrors, I needed to order new brackets as they were meant to hold the heavier chrome mirrors. They were more robust in the small triangle area but the window rail was the same.
They're not overly complicated to swap, just time consuming.
