Hmm, hadn't realised the 3rd hole on 93+ door skins was enlarged so much. I was hoping to bolt a Desmo (Raydyot) mirror using this hole. The bar (?) visible below looks like it will be impossible to get onto the fixing nut.
Anyone know what the diameter of this hole is. I'm due to start looking at a few suppliers; there are several different makers of Desmo mirrors about.
Offered up one of my Desmo mirrors today; reckon a little dremel surgery to the door innards, to enable access to the fixing nut, and a thick (c. 5m) rubber washer to simultaneously space out the mirror a little off the door, and I think allow the mirror to be securely mounted and still allow adjustment (ordinarily adjustment is locked up when the mirror is fitted).
-should they be the size/shape of the footprint of removed power mirrors to cover any difference in the paint?
-how many holes would you want?
-material? (.125" aluminum OK?)
-finish? (polished? chromed? black krinkle powdercoated?)
-what's a fair price per pair?

1 for the "small base" manual mirrors
1 for the "large base" power mirrors
Make them a tad larger than the gaskets, so you can reuse your stock gaskets, or get them from the dealer if you need a replacement. The manual gaskets are longer but not as wide as the power mirror gaskets.
possibly include screws or allen bolts
no hole but a punch mark on the underside so that if you want to use them as a mirror blank/deletion you'd be able to.
polished/unpolished options for those who want to paint them.
Rich's set were great; my only dissapointment is that they're not cut perfectly oval.
Yeah, making stuff by hand is tough... If I had access to a Flow Jet I'd have done that. There's a shop I know of that has one, just haven't checked into the cost. I know there's a design cost, then a cost to run the job, then the material cost. Could get pricey...
This will be a somewhat "vintage" inspired build. I want to keep the car OEM+ and possibly do a Quinn-esque motor build in the future.
However, what I'm doing now is basic stuff.
Here's my list of what I've bought already:

I'm starting this thread to keep track of the changes my car experiences. Nothing major planned but we all know how that goes. Mild drop. Wheels. Lip. Some interior bits. The usual.
Here goes... I decided that I wanted a car to wrench on from time-to-time. My old S-10 was a fun vehicle and I...
I figured it was time to move my projects from my own personal Facebook page to the pages of Club Roadster for everyone to enjoy along with allowing me to archive it in a better fashion than just some personal Facebook posts.
To give some background context, I put out some feelers to some good...
I've been a member on this forum for quite a while but have taken a hiatus for a few years. For those that forgot, this was my old car.
I got it pretty much how I wanted it, then parted it out :lol:.
I went through several cars since then, but ultimately decided nothing really compares...
So, inspired by brontosaurus' build thread and chatting with him, I decided to do one of these for myself. The photography is not going to be great and going through my photos, I really only have exterior shots, which is ok since my only interior mods for the most part are a Moddiction knob, a...
