looking to mount the three bolt mirrors on my doors that didn't have them, is there a template for drilling the holes in the correct location?

I made a template in paper referencing the holes on the driver's side, then flipped it over and used it on the passenger side.

You likely already have a reinforcement inside the door.

The drivers side should even have nuts inside. I would definitely take a look inside the door before you start drilling.

yep I was just thinking the same, I think they all had a driver's side mirror.

My passenger side ('61, original door) had a reinforcement plate, but no nuts. I used nutserts.
