I installed 77 sports on my 75.Installed mirror through door to see position of studs,drilled holes for 7/16 socket to slide through and installed nuts.Not hard,just take your time.Seems like I just had to inlarge 2 holes. :thumbs:

I did the same thing. J75 described the technique in a nutshell. I had the glass out of my door at the time, so I just torched a single hole to allow access to everything. Be careful if you use a torch around f-glass though.

I installed sport mirrors on my car some time ago as described above...and have not done the interior lever yet, as I don't have a chrome bezel and nut to secure it, much less determine a good positiion for it...


sort of wondering if any car used the same shape and had electric motors for position.....I think tha't the way to go....
