What mirror(s) for early 911?
I removed some incorrect mirrors from the '71. I need to buy some replacements. I see Durant, Talbot and some reproduction flag mirrors in SS and black.
Here's where the problem starts. The Durants have a much bigger stud spacing than would be easy to reach thru the access holes which are about 1 5/8" on center. The holes in the doors are 1 5/8 also in my existing doors and in the doors I have off a '70 parts car. This leads me to belive that's original. The flag mirrors started in '72? I'm confused. What do you purisits and semi-purists have on your car?
Oh, one more thing. I believe that if I used the Talbots, the passenger mirror, (which was probably not original, allthough there are access holes) would be difficult to see out of it anyway due to the A pillar. So, I'm eliminating Talbots from my chioces.
