<VV> Rights-side remote mirror down under?

Just switch everything we've said "left" for "right" and you'll have the
same problem as we're having.
Of course, your head will spin in the opposite direction (coriolis being
what it is down under), CCW instead of CW, right?

G'day and happy new year to everyone from Australia, With all this talk of
remote external mirrors I had to add my views. I have successfully installed
factory correct original equipment remote control mirrors to the left and
right hand sides of my 1965 Monza convertible.
I had absolutely no difficulty in assembling one of these remote control
mirrors to suit the right hand side door. The internal controller installed
without difficulty and the appearance looks as if Chevrolet offered a right
hand side remote mirror.
In my view the matched pair look a lot better than have different mirrors
even if not absolutely correct. Mind you my '65 Monza is right hand drive
and that's not factory so the addition of a right hand side remote mirror at
least in my case seems right.
Regards from Australia where we are in the middle of our summer.

> The 1975 Pontiac sedan had an optional mirror for both sides painted body
color with remote cables for dash mount. The passenger side has a long cable
so it can be mounted close enough for the driver to operate. Curvature at
the base is very close to curvature of late doors. I had a set and sold them
this past summer at the Detroit homecoming.
