Default Passenger Mirror Mounting Template

I picked up a passenger mirror and once my mount kit gets here, I'm ready to start poking holes A little scary ...... but does anyone out there have a template I could borrow?

You can make one easily enough. Just remove the driver's side mirror and using a piece of craft paper trace the door top and front edge outlines and where the holes are. Then use the mirror image of the template on the passenger's side to mark for the well nut holes.

To my knowledge, there are no templates. When it arrives, use the gasket from the mounting kit as your guide and use the location of the driver's side mirror for the position of the new mirror.

I got my passenger side mirror from Paragon a few weeks ago. I ordered it Monday morning and it was at my place Wed morning. Really good service.
The mirror was a perfect match for my stock drivers side and it came with a really good TEMPLETE. I just taped it to the door, center punched the 2 holes on the templete, drilled the 2 3/8th holes, slid in the rubber nuts and bolted the mirror on. Took about 5 minutes and really looks nice.
The 75 mirror is one of the larger ones so it actually works ok.
I would gladly loan the templete but you don't happen to live near me???

That would be great Norval ... I tried sending you a PM but your mail box is full ... you'll have to creat some space (delete some saved mssgs) before I (or anyone else) can send you any PM's.
