As Alvin says, a jam nut on the back of the centre strip. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 71 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2001 Posts: 71 | So originally all it had was a jam nut? I thought this bracket was used since they list it for those years...

However, my middle piece does not have the hole as dads50. I am almost certain my panel was all original sooooo, the mirrors were just thrown in the box of spare parts....or the clip was used to mount in a regular screw hole but still used the same stemed mirror.... Perhaps the "clip" was an option that dealers used to install an original mirror....or something like that. Its been a long day!!
