[Healeys] Side mirrors

[Sid Shadle]

I agree:  why put holes in the sheet metal?

I currently have a mirror (from Harley Davidson thru British Car
Specialists) mounted on me BN2 as Joel suggests - works great, *looks awful*.
But at least the sheet metal doesn't suffer.

Since I never use my side curtains (even with the hood raised), I am
wondering if anyone has tried mounting mirrors in the side curtain mounting
hole and, if so, how and what is involved?
