Jeff, if you hold the center stud with the allen wrench and tighten the nut it works much better. Love your work!

Nice video. I did not know such inserts were available. I am getting ready to replace my mirror on my 68 impala and I may need such a tool.

riv nuts, honestly simpler and the right solution, anytime you think quick sheet metal screw, over drill it and use a riv nut

A tool for threaded inserts is cheap and works much better. I gave $35 for mine. Be careful with stainless fasteners. Used the wrong way, (I.E. Not insulated.) they will eat the surrounding non stainless metal away through galvanic corrosion.

Absolutely Dude. Most enthusiast will only do one set of these per car. So while I agree that if you are doing a lot of those Threaded Inserts the $35 tool is a super option, the NPD tool will getter' done. True on the galvanic. We've wondered if Anti-Seize compounds would help...

great video, thank you. I need also to install a classic mirror on Alfa Romeo from 1971, but i have fear to make holes. I don't understand how you have fixed the support into the door.

They are called rivnuts, rivet nuts, and are available on Amazon. The tool is somewhat expensive, but recommended as the way we did it is difficult.

STAINLESS FASTENERS WILL CAUSE CORROSION IN THE HOLE IN THE STEEL DOOR - ALWAYS USE PAINT OR RTV TO INSULATE AND SEAL THE STAINLESS -

My mirrors are already in. What I need to do is get the remote bezel installed in the door. My panels have no hole for it so I'm assuming I need to make one in the door panel for the bezel then run the joy stick up and through it. Anyone ever done this installation thanks!.

Do you have any help on repair or replacement of the joystick for the remote mirror? Mine broke at the narrowest point down near the threads of the joystick. Thanks

Drill one hole and install one rivnut at a time. Install mirror THEN auto-punch the second hole.

Are there any new cables available if you have a perfectly good mirror with a broken adjuster cable??

So what’s the trick on installing the cable? Does window need to be up or down or out? Installing on a 69 Mustang. Thanks

Great video. Any tips on how I can remove my sports mirror when the screw is tight in the insert but the insert keeps turning with the screw. I've tried holding the insert from the inside of the door but that screw is in very tight.
@AutoRestoMod

Best bet would be to use some penetrating oil and let it sit a bit. Then clamp the nut from underneath with locking pliers and try to remove the screw. I have had to use a Dremel tool and cutoff wheel to get them to let go...

Thanks for the video. You have to put some anti-seize on the mirror screws.. Those insert barrels end up spinning around on me all the time trying to get mirrors off of older cars. The slightest bit of corrosion and dirt on the screws and the inserts start spinning around- then you can't get the screw out. It's a horrible way of securing the mirrors and whoever designed those things needs to be kicked in the knees!

Is there a way to adjust the mirrors? Mine seem to get leaning in towards the windows.
@AutoRestoMod

Not that I have found. When you set them I bet they eventually "rest" pointing at the windows, right? Mine do the same thing. It may have to do with the placement of the cables on the door panel. My drivers side stays put but that wacky passenger side, it does what it wants. And usually it wants to look at the rear quarter window on the wagon...

Sport mirrors BASES must be different for Torinos....Mustangs....Mavericks....PINTOS, ...Rancheros, as top of doors for each have different angles. You've seen the wrong ones on cars where mirror is angled up towards glass more than it should. FORD Part number inside ? Where does FORD mount the passenger side EXACTLY ? A template ?
@AutoRestoMod
6 жыл бұрын
Yes, Ford used different bases for all the models. The Torino mirror base is actually taller than the ones like we used (from a Gran Torino Elite, we wanted the inside adjustable passenger mirror that was optional on the Elite) so a template won't work...but the Elite mirrors sure do. The best method if you want it precise is to find a car; two or three would be better, and get measurements. There are probably part numbers on them all. We found these by going to the salvage yard, taking that mirror off of the Elite and plopping it down on a '69 Torino four door in the yard. I've even seen a Falcon with Probe mirrors...looked like they belonged.

As a side note, the Wagon, Ranchero, Four door, Hardtop and SportsRoof all had the same mount locations. This did depend on glass configuration. Vent window cars mounted different somewhat like what we showed. The mirrors on the hardtop and SportsRoof were further forward as the vent was not present.

RE the non-gloved hand wipe: Old guy habits are hard to break. The parts we're waiting on were new items from Eastwood that we became aware of last week and wanted to try on our interior plastic parts.
