Does anyone have the measurements for side mirrors for the hood and fenders that you'd share? Probably will install mirrors on the doors but want to try both application before mounting them. Thanks in advance.

That subject came up a few months back and somebody posted a Ford layout pattern.

Seem to remember that when last this subject came up that when the optimum positio was used there were interference issues with the wing windows. Hope you find the old posts.

Thank you, I'll look for the post.

The discussion I was refering to was a fender mount position and it was recent, not the thread that Kirby/Wirenut found from last year. Somebody had an overlay that apparently ford supplied  to the dealers.

Rich, I recently posted an overlay but it was for the antenna?

One of these mornings I'm going to wake up not remembering who or where I am. But now that you posted that, I remember now!
Sorry Kirby.
OK..next course of research...Kirby, check the build thread that Custom Shelby is doing. He just last week posted pics of his mirror and antenae mountings...maybe he's got some dimensions he can pass on.

Thanks Rich. I sent Custom Shelby a P.M. I could not find anything about the spacing. I appreciate you effort in trying to help.. I suffer from CRS on a daily basis so dont feel bad.
