datzenmike Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Dang, just take a look before pushing ENTER. :lol: I got rid of the double post and moved this one to B-210. Which, I think, is more sensible than General . Quote Link to comment
Dat Lurka Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Put them on the fenders. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Really what you need to do is sit in the car, and have someone hold them to the fenders and get an idea of where you can view them best. There is no 'right' place to put them, just somewhere you can see them. They only function if they're within your view. 1 Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 use the JP version as a visual reference and eyeball it. there are wrong ways to mount fender mirrors.... Quote Link to comment
Dat Lurka Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 ^ Exactly that. Have someone move them around till they seem perfect to you. Quote Link to comment
Dguy210 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 I mounted mine to line up with the end of the side marker light. Not saying that is the correct way, but it matched the pics I've seen the best. Another B210, same style mirror. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 There is a correct way -- when you buy a new fender mirror from Nissan it comes with measurements for where to place it and a template for cutting the two holes. It is also in the factory service manual (non-USA versions). The 1973 fender mirrors are placed big hole at 32.2 inches from front edge of door and small hole depends on exactly which mirror option it is. Mirror face probably 27-28 inches. Mine are placed mirror face at 24" and it seems to work well. At 27 I think it would give a better view of the blind spot. Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted November 10, 2012 Report Share Posted November 10, 2012 As an addendum to GG's notes, some cars have an indention in the frame rail (at the top of the fender). That indention is for the lower mount (bit that goes inside the fender) on the OEM fender mirrors. If you look closely, you can see it just ahead of the strut in this photo: Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Hmm, the dent-like spot? Must give it enough room to get this inside the fender: Quote Link to comment
