Right hand door mirror placement

Interesting. I mounted my right mirror symmetrical to the lefthand side (on a 67 FB), in the forward position you described, because I thought it looked better that way, and it turned out it was in a perfect position for visibility. All kinds of people had told me it would not be visible. But I run the seat all the way back.

My 67 convertible has them symmetrical as well, but I don't know if it had a righthand mirror from the factory -- that's the sort of embellishment my father would have installed.

It's the driver side mirror I can't see <grin>. I have to close one eye and look at it around the vent window frame.
