I have a 1949 3100 and am thinking of installing the passenger side rear view mirror.
I am hoping that a 'bolter has one and can give me the location dimensions to mount one of these.

Not sure about the 49 but look under the dash at the area where the mirror should mount. There should be a reinforcement piece of metal there with holes in it to match the placement of the mirror. My 52 has them so perhaps yours does too.

It should look something like this...disregard the hole for the antenna which the PO had on the passenger side. Hope this helps.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

As Alvin said the plate is inside, there is however also an accessory template provided for this purpose to mount the mirrors correctly.

Brad,

just-a-hacker might be referring to this style mirror arm, which I think that Alvin is referring-to?

I think your template might be for a different style arm?

Maybe your template will work for both style arms (and the holes are over the holes in the under-dash brace)?

If they are the same template, if you are willing to mail the template to me, I'll scan it as a real-size PDF image and post a link to it. I'd, of course, mail the original back to you.

Thanks,

The hole to hole dimension is the same, I used it to mount mine which is the small curved arm type. Tim, I return to the states on Friday, PM me your address and I will send both directions and template for you to copy.
