Thanks for the suggestion. It is for a 77 so I really want the polished finish and vintage look to match the window trim.

Does anyone know what exact brand of mirror was used that covered the existing holes?

Hope this helps.

I also do not like the power flag mirrors that were standard on my ‘83 SC and should have removed them two years ago when I did a complete repaint. Anyone have good pictures of the mirrors removed with a ruler showing the spread of the holes that need to be covered by a base for smaller manual mirrors

Google porsche 935 mirrors. I think these are the mirrors SC's should have come out of the factory with.

The ONLY plug and play option on the market is the one from ÄCHTUNGKRAFT
they designe a Talbot-Oldschool looking Mirror having a Flag-mirror base to fit G-model door bores.
the pair though is USD 550 if I recall correctly
https://achtungkraft.com/collections/exclusive-parts/products/aluminum-bullet-mirror-911-1975-1988-flag-mount-pre-order


the other option (DIY) is, get some cheap flag mirrors, seperate the base, optionalle smoothe/grind bases into new homogene shape and mount Vitaloni Sebring mirrors on top

I'm more interested in a Durant style mirror that will cover all of the holes.. once I drill the 2 new ones required to mount the Durant. Do all Durant styles cover the four holes or is there one in particular that has a bit larger base?
