Re: Electric mirrors
I understand that the only difference between LHD and RHD is the position of the detent in the door mounted foot.
If you remove the mirror and unbolt the body on both you will see it.
IIRC it is a matter of putting a new drill dimple in each foot, copying left to right and vice versa.

Re: Electric mirrors
Dont know! I have an odd "pair" of lhd ones (I think...) so I could compare them to the rhd bus.

Re: Electric mirrors
You can remove the detent casting but then the mirror would wander. There must be a way of making another detent, I know my friend Steve did exactly this with his.
