Tim,

You can actually get away with not putting in the 3rd screw in the Vanagon
power mirrors. At worse, you just need to install a single nutsert, screw,
or nut depending on what you want. Power mirrors are on Ebay all the time as
mirror switches. I've bought one on the Ebay as low as $25 each. They just
needed painting to match my van.

I'm curious about your H3 mirror install though. Would you mind pmailing me
a pic of it? I seem to recall Rod Millen's Toyota race team using a Jeep
Wrangler mirror on their custom widened FJ45 body over a late model
Landcruiser. The installation looked pretty cool and stock looking. I was
thinking something like similar would look just at home on the door of a
Doka.
