What kind of mirror will match these holes?

[JoeKan]

I was wondering if someone can help me find mirrors that these holes will match. I wanted to use the mirrors that I had for my burb (72) but the holes don't match. So, instead of drilling out new holes, I thought I would find the mirror that would line up with these holes.
Thanks,
Joe

That would be the sport mirrors. The right one is almost good for nothing.

and the left isn't far behind.....

thats why i'm ditching them in favor of the tripod mirrors w/ the 7.5x10.5 heads so i can actually USE my 72 burb!

Thanks for the information. So I guess the sport mirrors are small? If I should go the other route and use the mirrors that came with the burb when I bought it, wouldn't these holes thats in it now make it rust?

I have small, high mounted mirrors on my '72. The passenger side is useless, I can't see it at all when I'm driving, but the drivers side works very well. I left the passenger side on because I think it looks better than having just one mirror.

Joe, if I were in your shoes I'd use the mirrors that match those holes. You just painted the truck - are you going to fill those holes if you don't use them?

yeah....i will have the holes on my burb welded up and blended in w/ touch up paint when i have a couple minor rust blemishes fixed.

You can fill them with a stainless carriage bolt.

Hi Wayne,
I'm not sure what to do. I'm going to try and find a picture of the sport mirrors to see what they would look like. If I like them, I may just put them on.
I like lownslow idea of using stainless carriage bolts. Maybe try that. I'm not sure yet.

I searched on the board for you and found these threads regarding sport mirrors...

I was having the same problem with my Camaro and ended up finding a nice mirror at YearOne for it.

Thanks Wayne for the help. Those sport mirrors look really nice, still undecided though.
I see that you have a 69 camero. My very first car was a 69 camero and I would love to have her back.

My '69 was my first real classic ride. I enjoy it so much that I wanted to add a second, so I bought my '72 Burb.
