Mpcoluv Gearhead Posts: 975 From: Charlotte NC usa Registered: Apr 2001	posted 06-15-2002 04:10 PM What diameter drill do I need to use for the threaded mirror inserts? Are these inserts an interference fit? I was pleasantly surprised to find that under the ols mirror is the big hole for the mirror adjustment knob. IP: Logged

They are similar to the kind that they used to hold the Sport Slats to the body. ------------------ Gary- 1970 Mustang Deluxe SportsRoof (daily driver), 1946 Ford pickup, another 1946 Ford pickup, 1947 Ford parts truck, 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Town Vic IP: Logged

I have them in both doors on my 68 for mirrors- a remore and a matching one for other side. IP: Logged
