You may want to take a peek inside the door before you start welding up all the holes.
I am mounting sport mirrors and the back braces I made may need to be modified to work around the interior bracing of which I speak. I happened to notice the internal structure yesterday as I was starting to fit everything up.
Thanks Murph, yeah that's what I've read as well. I haven't looked to see if they're there. I do know the holes for the current mirrors are not in the same location, so all of those will indeed have to be welded up. The holes for the original mirrors are not visible & were filled at some point in time.
