Thanks Jonathan, Sounds easy enough. BTW do you still have the brown 78 you were parting? If so are the roof moldings removable in one piece. I Have a show here in Michigan next Sunday (representative examples from all car companies and periods). I want my car to at least look complete.

Thanks

Thanks

I already knew that... but you raise a good point... if it is easy to remove, and these are as rare as a quality special x or even special x gauges... then I think I will secure it more securely !!!

Ed , I do believe the plate goes on the inside of your door and you drill 2 holes, 1 is for the tab so the mirror stays in place and the other takes the screw from the mirror to the plate.PS easy to remove so a rivit might be better.

For the 78/79 models, I think you drill a hole and put a rivnut in there. It's sorta like a pop rivet, but with threads on the inside. Takes a special tool, but it's not too spendy. I've got the instructions floating around somewhere.

There are no screws for mirrors on the inside of the 73 to 77 passenger doors.

I don't know about 78 or 79.

These black passenger mirrors were for a Z 600 that never got restored, and I was lucky enough to convince the guy to part with them (for a HUGE price).

They are not JDM... they are N.A. (after)market

I pulled up an old thread as there was nothing more relevant, but the title was appropriate. Does anyone have an answer to my question?

Are the nuts to attach a passenger side mirror already under the door skin for a 78? If not, then what?

Ed...email sent.

WOWEEE!

Getting ONE (left side) in decent shape is enough...Never mind scoring TWO right side ones.

What a lucky score, fellow 'Shwa Civic bro!

Now, everyone bow and repeat after me-"ED IS THE MIRROR GOD....ED IS THE MIRROR GOD..."

When are you not going to be home, and where are they sitting????????? Ah, never mind, I will find them!!
NOW, I am very jealous

By Jonathan (68.193.10.141) on Wednesday, June 09, 2004 - 05:52 pm:

Cool beans, I didn't even know that they even made passenger side mirrors in that style. I guess that answers that question

Congrats on the find!

Y-A-H-O-O ! ! !

look what I just got .. it feels like the christmas in 1968 when I got my first boss hoss and beatnik bandit hot wheels.



yes..... the image is not reversed.... it is actually two (2) passenger side mirrors for the North American 1973 - 1976 Civic.... one for each of my civics !!!

(Bruce... emaili me the shipping info. on the driver's side mirror - thanks)

I would post how much I paid for both of them, but if my wife reads this...... I might have to sign the divorce papers !!!

put it this way.... the rest of you guys buy whole cars for about the same price !!!
