    Hey y'all!
    I'm rollin' around in an 87
    My passenger mirror is heckin' floppy. Might as well swap 'em both out.
    Looking at my options online, it's slim pickins'.
    I really dig the (even) older Toyota pickup metal mirrors that stick out like little elbows.

    If I go with this, I'll have to punch two holes lower in the door for the bottom part of the bracket. I'll probably have to make a little gasket for it, too, to make it watertight, and maybe have to fabricate an adapter (I don't know if the existing mirror fittings will match the spacing on the replacement).
    I can do that, but I can't UNDO it, y'know!?! Anyone forsee possible issues I might have?
