'66-'69 right side remote mirror

Postby Hwy78Cruiser » Sun Nov 22, 2020 6:05 pm

Could someone with a passenger side remote mirror please show a pic of how it passes from the door through to the dash, i.e. is there a rubber weather boot in the door opening?, and also, where does it end up mounting at/on the dashboard?

Thanks in advance.

Oops, I may have made a mistake here, ... I have remote mirrors for both sides, sculpted and painted, but it looks like my Dear Old (late) Dad planned those as an upgrade from later a later year Toro, because I don't see that kind of mirror showing up until the 80s. The doors are all drilled and painted for them, but it doesn't look like these are 60s vintage.

My Dad left his '66 to me as a puzzle, I'm unpacking boxes and figuring it out as I go. I'm sure he's having a good chuckle from his new high perch.

If anyone knows anything about where/how right side mirror levers are mounted, I'd appreciate a clue or a pic.

Right side mirrors were not standard for 66. The driver side was remote. It was chrome. I purchased a right side mirror for my car but decided not to install it. In order for it to be functional for the driver it would be too far back on the door. Also the ones available don’t match the original.. I decided not to drill into the passenger door.

If your doors are already drilled then I guess you’ll have to use what your dad provided.
