I retrofitted a pair of electric mirrors on mine.
I ran a fused lead from a spare switched + terminal behind the fuse box.
The earth went straight to the nearest earth crown.

there's a round hole in the card behind the vinyl where the switch goes you just have to open the vinly up, but you'll have to make a cave in the plastic protective sheet that goes behind the door card to allow the switch to sit nice without pushing the card out and keep the moisture inside the door to stop the door card getting damp and swelling, factory vans with electric mirrors had a modified moisture barrier with a preformed cave set into it.

The black plug looks like a CL conector while the conecor with 2 wires and an oval end is elec windows.
The long thin conector with about 6 wires goes to the Elec mirror control switch.
Have a look at my wireing diag for colour code info.

Right ive found out the small plug with the green and white and the yellow and white is for the mirrors so i cut the black and yellow put it to the positive on the battery and the mirrors worked, but the left marking on the switch operated the right mirror and the right marking opperated the left mirror :evil: i should have fitted the loom as it would have been in the LHD bus and extended the swich over to the right hand door instead i fitted the loom up side down to move the swich to the right door and now the mirrors work backwards DOOOOOO :roll:
