Mirror mounts

[Renigade]

Gents I want to mount mirrors on my truck that has the 3 point places to secure it and I would like to know what kind of anchors to get and where at.

Go to a place that sell body shop supplies and tell hem what you are doing. There are several versions of the nuts, some called "wellnust" or rivnuts" . They can be either rubber with a metal insert or aluminum. With the rubber ones you won't need a washer to protect the paint. Ask if they rent the tool to install them. Shadrach

I just put a 1/4" bolt with a nut and a large fender washer inside the door. I'm also real careful what I whack with the mirrors too. I'd be pissed if I tore that washer thru the door!

I had thought about doing it that way then it dawned on me in one of my trucks in the past I had done that . Then I remember tearing a great big ole hole in the door with the washer.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. Shadrac I went and checked with a Buddie of mine that has a body shop and he knew exactly what I needed so he gave me some and loaned me the tool.

If you didn't do it yet.. I would just use a bolt and a nut on the inside... Using the tool It pushes on the metal creating a small dent around the insert... I just did it not to long ago on a fresh repainted mint door.. I was pissed after I was done and it still bothers me... Trust me... Just use a small piece of rubber inbetween the frame and panel..
