hi david thank you for your reply, i have that mirror on the car but they are useless, the last owner had already drilled the holes on the doors, are the original mirror bases different if they are perhaps a pair of them would do.

The mirrors are the same as original but not the bases. The last owner should have used the original bases as the plastic inner part clips into the holes and insulates them from metal to metal contact between the screw and the door thus preventing rust. Also the original holes in the door are bigger so that the plastic base can be inserted and they are also spaced differently.

Seamus fit nut inserts & use stainless m5 screws like i did with the mirrors on my celica, dont be using self tappers anywhere, you can get a silverline insert tool on ebay for about ?15 & the inserts any good screw supplier in Killarney will stock them
