911 flag mirrors on 914

[cbaz]

I just installed 911 flag mirrors on my 1975 Euro 914. The driver side fit almost perfectly. When I came to install the RH mirror in the same opposite location, I realized that the mirror stand bracket was not the same as on the LH side. Later I realized tha tha 911 did not have the mirrors located at the same spot on both sides.

Does any one know if there is a RH mirror stand that is the same as the LH side? Maybe the UK version?

The 944 base is slightly different from the 911 base; I used 944 bases on both sides and could mount them correctly-pass side a little more forward.

I would like to thank all for the responses which point be in the right direction. I wish that I used the forum before the mirror installation.

I just finished installing electric windows and electric door locks...will post some photos soon.

PS I am designing a retractable GPS that will stow in the ashtray location.

Apart from the base are 944 mirrors the same as 911? Is the glass the same P/N?

The mirrors appear to be identical, glass is the same. Before doing my install, I read several good posts explaining some of the installation tricks.

Your picture showing the pass side mirror shows a thicker rubber pad; is one side different, or is it the camera angle.

Don't have a part number handy

I've also done the power window install, probably the best upgrade done. There are universal kits available that work well; they probably wont be as fast as a new cars, but they do the trick.

Any pics of it zoomed out at an angle to see proportion? Interesting mod.

I will post pictures soon...I am designing a retractable GPS that will fit where the ashtray is.

911/944 mirrors are the same except the base piece and can be swapped.

Thanks for the info...I will search for 944 base to replace 911 RH mirror base.

Where can one find all this info and tricks on flags for a 914?
Thanks

If you do a search on the 914World site, you may find the original thread; I lost my bookmark. You will need to try various combinations of : 911, mirror, flag, installation

Thanks for the help , but I'm not very good with 914world. Can't seem to find the how to section.( step by step)

The link above will take you to the search results page for "911 flag mirror installation"; try hunting on the threads listed there and you will likely find a lot of info about it. I haven't looked, so I can't say that a How-To thread is part of it, but at least there will be a lot of discussion about the subject!
