Re: Type 3 Passenger side mirror?

[Per Lindgren <per.lindgren@c2i.net>]

<x-flowed>My 1970 Square has the right side plastic plug intact! Now, if only I 
could get another plastic plug for the left side, I'm going to install 
chrome "Talbot" mirrors! I dont think I want to weld the original holes.

My 73 has mirrors on both sides, it was required here in Norway from 
1971 on, along with side repeaters (side turn signals) and front seat 
safety belts.

To top it off, my brother had a 1971 1302 (Super Beetle) that was 
originally sold in Germany, and brought to Norway in 74. This car did 
*not* have the threaded nut in the right side door from the factory, as 
it was not required in Germany back then, so a regular nut was installed 
when it was brought to Norway. It was a real PITA to tighten the mirror 
on this Bug, as no tool would fit up in the tight area inside the door.
