Dear All
It's possible to obtain a left-handed arm from the usual UK and other
suppliers to carry the rectangular mirror. This can be fitted to the LHS of
the windscreen frame by tapping two threads into the frame.
Normally, the mirror arms are mounted so that they angled in a forward
direction.
However, when I fitted a passenger's side mirror on my PA I was advised to
use a RHS arm and fit it upside down, so that it was angled in a rearward
direction. Reason? So that the driver could actually SEE the mirror!! (Try
it - the sight lines are otherwise a bit tricky.)
I followed this advice, and all was well until I fitted a hood and
sidescreens one day. Then I found that I could not open the passenger's
side door without fouling the rearward-angled mirror. So I reverted to Plan
A and replaced the arm with a forward-angled one, and all was well - and
with a bit of effort you can see the mirror.
Hope this helps

All,
Chris,
An alternative to drilling the bracket would be to buy from Moss their kit
No. 407-488, which provides a stem that is threaded at one end so it can be
bolted through the slot in the bracket. So long as you don't want to fold
the windshield down frequently, and if you don't mind the bracket looking a
little different from the one on the driver's side, this enables you to have
a mirror on the passenger side of the same rectangular design as the
driver's mirror, without the need to drill any holes in your bracket. The
mirror head is also available, if you need one, under Moss No. 407-347.
Hope this helps,
Lawrie Alexander
