71 CUDA GULL WING / DOOR MIRROR LOCATION

[gf7cuda]

Hello Mopar friends, I have been looking out there to find mounting locations for the rear Gull wing and side door mirror locations (71 Cuda) with no luck . Does anyone out there know these locations? If anyone has the info or site, it would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

Easiest way really is to install the brackets underneath and mark the deck lid using the holes. Wing pedestals are 36 inches on center.

I found this along with some other info. The 71 gull wing is mounted 3 inches farther up the decklid than the 70 go wing.

rklein71, that looks like it would be right in the middle of decklid, 3 inches further up. Would you have door mirror locations also?

Yep

just measured mine a 71 cuda original door and mirror 1/2 inch down from body line and 14- 15/16 inches from mirror to front of door at the body line. of course measuring to the holes is a good way to do it. it;s best to drill one hole then screw on the mirror then make a mark or drill through the second hole best of luck
