Irv,
That info may supply some clues. The drivers side bullet mirror's
finish is in rougher shape than the newer looking passenger side
mirror. When I took off the passenger side mirror, I saw the original
2 mounting holes, plus a 3rd hole that was used on the new mirror.
When I removed the drivers (LHD) side mirror, it had only two holes in
the door that a mirror bracket was attached through. The mirror then
sat over the bracket and attached via one screw through the front of
the mirror base. Is this the way your original mirror is attached?
Any other input from other TR6 owners?
Thanks.

My car came with 1 bullet type mirror, driver's door. I am the original
owner. Hope this helps.
