Holes for door mirrors

What are the correct holes for sports mirrors?

Are the same as pick up (I have one I can reference)

Re: Holes for door mirrors

The three larger holes look correct for sport mirror holes. I believe the RH holes in a slightly posterior location relative to those on the left.

While you're at it, epoxy the backing plate in it's location. The corners of that backing plate can put pressure points on the door skin when you tighten the mirror. If this happens you will see those points in the exterior paint.
