Does anyone know if these side mirror screws are still available?
Cheers

| Airhead has correct thread and size screws that are not self tapping. Make sure your backing plate is still in place too. The door skin isn't thick enough by itself |

| Thanks Teetroy, Ah, backing plate never heard of that, what I have in the photo is exactly what came out. I’m guessing it’s similar to the plate in the photo but without the threaded section |

The backing plate is inside the door. Look up inside and you will see it. That is what gets tapped (threaded) for the screws. I installed passenger side mirrors on both my "70 and '71. Located the backing plate, made some measurements and then drilled and tapped. I got the screws from AirHead. I think they were M5(?)
