The original mounting instructions call for these t-bolts for the top mounts and sheet metal screws for the bottom but I feel like a nut and bolt would be a better choice.

For what it is worth, my 66's JR west coast mirrors came with self-tappers. I drilled a small hole and screwed them in with a drill. If you have a gasket between the door and mirror support it will tighten up nicely. Never had an issue.
