i am installing my sport mirrors,does anybody know what size hole i make in the doors for the cable and any little tips i can do (lube anything)etc. thanx
I think it's around 1/2" or so. One thing you want to do after drilling the hole is make sure you apply some primer then paint the bare metal so it doesn't rust.
Use the correct 'riv-nuts' on the right side door, don't just screw into the door skin. If you can, tack-weld them too.
Bill
do you know who carries riv-nuts?
I know what I was planning on doing was using a couple locking nuts on the backside for the passenger side. The driver side already has the fittings. Then again I didn't know you could get those type of fittings anywhere.

I finally had the chance to take a good look at it, and it will need some work. It has some minor scratches all over it, and in the very front it has some deep ones. It might be ok with some work. I will only ask for shipping and a little handling for it. I will try to grab some photos if you are still intrested.
Bill
interested,.pic.would be nice if you can thanx dave
There is also one small ding neat the front that can bee seen in the photo.
Like I said, it is not perfect; it is still better than one you don't have.
Unless you are in a UPS 'rural' area I can't imagine the shipping to be more than 15-18 bucks, and the total should be like 25 or less. I still need to figure how to box it up well, but I won't do that until after you tell me if you want it; I don't have a lot of time.
Bill
bill,thanx for taking the time for pics.i am going to have to pass on it right now .there is a bone yard by me that has a few wagons so i am going to check there so i might get back to ya if they do not have. thanx again for your time and help. dave
