I thought most Type 3s from 68-on came with a plug in the threaded
hole in the RH door. Squares got a mirror installed there but fastys
didn't. Both had a nut welded inside that hole so mirror installation
was a snap.
If your door doesn't have the plug, then you don't have the nut
either. In that case you have several options. You can drill a hole
and hold a nut in there, you can mount a different kind of mirror, or
you can find a different door with the nut already in place.
Due to the age of our cars, parts might have been replaced over the years.
While most of the Squares came with a right mirror, a lot of Fastbacks
didn't. It's possible that the PO or the PPO replaced the door with one from a
Fastback, thereby eliminating the mirror hole.
