73 SIDE VIEW MIRROR SWAP??

[73EXP]

Hey-<br>OK OK- silly Q..<br><br>I have the 73 Bronco Explorer..<br><br>& I'm wondering if a LEFT hand side (cable remote controlled) side view mirror can be installed on the RIGHT side of the truck...<br><br>I have a left one ( though it came from the factory without a right side view mirror)<br><br>This is the RANGER package mirror- the one with the DEEP frame around it. It has a large ball joint on the back where it meets the support arm..<br><br>So can't I just FLIP the mirror in the ball socket and plant the sucker on the passenger door?<br><br>Huh?<br><br><br>

 

[Jeepster]

why not.

Hey Jeepster <br><br>nahh- I don't mean why or why not- I mean WILL IT FIT?<br>I don't have mine right now to see- but I wouldnt think there was any reason it wouldnt fit on the right ( even install the remote cable on right door) <br><br>but I figured since none of em had rh door mirrors- someone somewhere must've tried this and KNOWS of it works-<br>

 

[Jeepster]

What I ment was ,why wont it fit. I dont think there was a distinction between left and right when it comes to the org door mirrors. You, as you mention , should just be able to simply rotate the mirror on the ball joint for that side of the truck.

i have a right side view mirror, but its pretty pointless since its so tiny, its like lookin out a porthole. plus somebody always screws it up. just for symmetrical looks i guess.
