[T3] R. H. outside Mirrors

[Dave Hall]

I would be surprised if your '71 Type 3 doesn't have a plastic plug to
remove so you can fit one.  If so, the threaded plate is already there.  

I don't know when Beetles came with them.  You can get a door hinge-pin
mounted one for Beetles if not.

Hope you can get it sorted easily.  How about a wing (fender) mounted one
otherwise?

Subject: [T3] R. H. outside Mirrors

Just returned from renewing my drivers license, I had to take an eye test
this time and I am only reading 20/100 with my right eye.  They have
restricted me from driving unless the vehicle has an R. H. outside mirror.
I have a 1971 type
3 (fastback) and a 1971 Super Beetle, both without outside mirrors on the
right side.

What is recommended for this and where can you get them?  I also understand
that there can be a problem when installing the right hand mirrors on our
cars because of something being welded inside the door?  Is this the case or
have I been wrongly informed?

The groups help will be appreciated as I don't want to be setting here
unable to drive my two favorite cars!  Will wait to hear from some of you,
Thanks!

PS.  Still trying to obtain a turn signal switch for the 1971 Fastback.  The
body shop broke my switch and I don't believe it can be rebuild this time,
as soon as I get one I will sent this one to Jim and see if he can savage
anything from it.  Someone in the group had one available but wanted to sell
the entire column, I have been holding out in hopes of just getting the
switch.
