Here is a good one, where does the control for the remote mirror attach to ? Does anyone have any photos ? Thank you

Need to drill a hole to the bottom of the dash, left of column.

[allpawl]

I would not recommend anybody just drilling a hole anywhere in there dash , i am trying to find out where the factory would have originally installed the hole. If anyone has an original one i would greatly appreciate the info. Thank you

I have a 64 lemans with a fender mount remote mirror and can send picture if u still need it. Let me know.

I just bought an NOS mirror that came with the instructions. I'll try to scan them and post them this weekend. But, regarding the location of the control, I'm pretty sure the hole is on all 64's. It's a round hole, on the bottom of the dash, near the parking brake release handle. It should have two small screw holes around it.

Here's the factory installation dwgs for the 64 Tempest and 64 Pontiac Remote Mirrors:

So, I now have a question maybe someone can help with. The dwgs do not give dimensions for the locations of the holes in the fender relative to the edges of the fender. They reference a "0" plane.

Can someone with an original remote mirror fender take some measurements from the rear edge of the fender and from a body line or the edge of the fender near the hood?

[Lemans64]

Have a couple of extra fender kicking around and will check in the morning, they made a real dumb way of mounting the mirror if I remember correctly, will check tomorrow.

I think the "0" line will be the very front of the firewall (and at the top of the firewall) at the centerline of the car. Find the centerline, measure 3" forward along the centerline from the top and face of the firewall, then 32.23" perpendicular from the centerline to the centerline of the 1/2" dia. cable hole on the fender. Other holes referenced from that. I would measure to both fenders and get it equidistant from the back of the fender on both sides to assure the line is perpendicular to the car centerline.

The drawing was surely intended for field installations of the Dealer Accessory Package.

Likely they used a template in the factory because they probably punched the holes in the fender before they painted it and long before the front end sheet metal was mated to the Body Assembly on the Final Line so couldn't reference off the firewall as they were building it. Hopefully somebody can measure off an original fender to confirm the location.

John V, good to here from you again. Yes, the "0" line may be the firewall, but 3 inches seems kind of short to me. I work in automotive design, and where I work, the 0X plane would be close to the front axle center, but that's obviously not the case here. No idea really. Hopefully someone can measure the hole location on an original fender. I'm not in any hurry, the body hasn't even been started yet, so I'll try to keep this post alive until we find the answer. The mirror I bought appears to be the dealer installed accessory mirror. It came NOS in the box with all the hardware to mount it with those instructions. Lucky find. I thought it would be good to post the drawing for others to reference.

Sorry the delay guys, I got carried away doing the yard work ,LOL. Both Drivers fenders that I have that have holes for the mirror are in the same location, so I am asuming these are factory. Hole for cables is 15 1/4 from rear of fender top corner. bracket holes are 13 3/16 and 14 11/16, all holes are 3/4 inch from top corner of fender. rear edge of mirror is 11 3/4 away from rear of fender. Would send picture but can't upload pictures at this time.

Anybody make repo cables for these mirrors?? mine appear to be stretched and don't work quite right.

[Lemans64]

Note holes are in the narrow strip on fender not on the top. Did u get the brace with this NOS kit?? Mine does not have brace anymore.

Lemans64, thanks for the dimensions. Yes, the brace is in the kit, along with the funky allen screw Pecosbill describes in his post, and also two black plated tapping screws and two silver plated machine screws, gasket, and the control knob. I have seen cables available somewhere for Chebbies. I'd imagine they'd work if you could find the right length. Sorry, don't remember where I saw them, but I'll post if I remember.

Pecosbill, I searched before for dimensions and didn't find them, thanks for the link and the detailed instructions.

Ron, Maybe Steve will bring his 64 to the show the 23rd. He has the remote on it. Doug

[ron cozzo]

Thanks Doug, I'll check it out. I never noticed that.
