Tom,
I don't know what the hole spacing is on the Mustang style mirros. My car has the "pointed" body color mirrors that were so popular on Fords in the early '70s & installed on many Panteras as an upgrade to the chrome mirrors. The hole spacing on those mirrors is very wide. I would guess the Mustang mirrors are similar, but that is just a guess.
I have a set of GT5-S style Vitloni mirrors that I plan to install someday, the Vitaloni mounting base is not long enough to conceal both holes of the Ford mirrors. My plan is to just install a flat head screw in the exposed holes until someday when I have the car repainted.
The Southern Rods & Parts web site does not provide mounting dimensions for the Carolina mirror, like I wrote earlier, that's a dimension Chris will need to provide.
your friend on the DTBB, George
George, thanks for the information. The Carolina mirror looks very promising. I'll have to have holes filled on my doors too, but think its worth it. I'm also going to ask Dave Adler if he can ID the owners of the cars pictured in the PI magazine. Since there seems to be some interest in this subject. I'll post what I find out.
