Breakaway mirror inner door bracket?

[DamnYankee]

I have the small sport style mirrors currently on my 88 Ranger. I'd like to replace them with the breakaway style. Where can I get the inner door bracket needed for this retrofit?

I'm guessing you're talking about this style swing lock mirror. My truck came with the small black plastic ones and a po installed these. He just drilled two extra holes and used bolts and nuts with big washers on the inside. I haven't seen any problem with it. I can pull them in and they don't bend on the door and they don't vibrate around or anything. I would assume they're pretty easy to find at a junkyard but I've never looked.

LMC Parts has the replacement mirrors, and I would guess they come with any hardware needed. They don't list any seperate bracket.
If you source the mirrors from a jy, and need something to back the mirrors, I'd use some stainless bolts, like maybe 1/4 x 20 with some large fender washers to use as backing plates, Some lock nuts and it will never come off.
As Black posted, use nuts/bolts instead of just some sheet metal screws. Large fender washer will act and function just as well as a bracket.

Thanks for the replies. I forgot about this post. I actually found a set locally with all the hardware.
