sport mirror mounting locations

[ONEARMEDBANDITT]

I own a 1987 r10 custom deluxe and it currently has the bigger mirrors. Is there a write up I am missing to mount the sport mirrors? I saw where someone said to put a mounting plate on the inside.. where do I get these any help is appreciated.

I think you're talking about the swing away mirrors. If so, here's the link to LMC's catalog. The bracket bolts to the bottom hole of the mirror, wraps around the verticle window track and bolts to the inner door panel.

Part number 38-5882 Left, 38-5883 Right

the mirrors I ordered are part # 38-5868, my truck currently has the swing away mirrors. I was wanting to know what I need to do to mount the new ones

I don't recall if the door has double walled steel near the verticle post. In '91 I installed those mirrors on my 68 El Camino. I just screwed the mounting plate to the door. I never had them loosen up. Just be sure the mirror head is to the rear of the vent window.
