I removed my O/S LH mirror today and discovered that the mount appears to be
from a 63L to 67E, according to catalogs. Would it be possible that the
screws that hold the mirror mount to the body would match up with the screw
spacing on the 63E long-base kit. I can't tell by looking in the catalogs
what this dimension is. The point being, did someone replace the original
mirror with a generic item ( no bowtie/ less expensive) and still use the
existing backing plate I/S the door? If the spacing on the mounting screws
is the same it could be done. If that was the case, I could replace the
mounting kit back to the original and use the correct mirror. Or, perhaps, I
should replace this current mal-functioning mirror with another 63L and get
on with my life- lib
