I have an original door mirror (I think) fitted to the right hand side of the car (passenger side). Was originally fitted as a factory option however i can't see the mirror when driving as its obscured. Was there a different style mirror fitted to the passenger side ? - would need to be slightly longer to move it backwards along the door.

any advice appreciated.

I believe that when the optional passenger door mirror is fitted, it was the same mirror, but fitted further back as you suggest. I am sure one of our more knowledgable brethren will come back with further details/measurements. I guess your issue is that re-postioning will mean filling in holes (is the door original, or could it have been swapped in the past for a RHD door?

Wherever you mount a passenger side mirror the view it provides will be virtually useless !

I think those who've persevered & fitted one have positioned it approx 4in further back when compared to the one on the driver's side.

Thanks for the replies. looks like its the original door, will try different positions to see if any work.

I can't offer a solution, but can sympathise. I have a '67 LHD 912, which had a RH mirror as a factory option, and it's completely invisible from the driver's seat.

Apart from making the car more symmetrical, it serves no practical purpose whatsoever!
