WTB: Exterior mirror nut.
Hi all, me on the scrounge again. After having secured 2 exterior rearview mirrors..and fitting the right hand one successfully, can anyone tell me
if I should use a specialised inner nut inside the door or can I use just about anything that will fit.?
If it is the former...does anyone have a spare one they would care to part with for a few gold shekels?
Oh..as I haven't had the left hand door lining off...do they come fitted with the bolt already but no hole?

i got an old mirror at home with bad glass, think its off a later beetle will post a pic when i get home, could even be type 3.
This is my Volkswagen, there are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me my Volkswagen is useless, without my Volkswagen, I am useless.

Supposedly, the nuts and holes were supposed to be there...
but not in Australia.. lol until much later..
the nut is an od size thread... and usually welded in place..
Mine is just sitting there... held it while I tightened the mirror
NOT an easy job... lol

Thanks for the offer Les, I think I'll get a stainless nut and large washer from a Nut and Bolt shop and use that. I wasn't sure if the thread was a
VW only type of deal...stranger things have been known to occur.
