Tow Mirror Question

Could someone who has the 4 point mount tow mirrors get a measurement for me? I have the swing away mirrors and I have mounted the larger tow mirror heads on them. With my new camper I am looking to extend them more. Would like to know if the 4 point mounted mirrors stick out farther than what I have now.

Could I get a measurement from the door to the mirror head mounting point?

I'm just bragging a little! Next time I measure I'll try some Blue V first, lol.

Okay so does anyone have a set of the 4 point mount tow mirrors they want to get rid of? I have the mirror heads already that I bought from Ryder Fleet (the good stainless steel ones). Does anyone know if the aftermarket mounts from LMC are the same as the Ford OEM mounts? If I change to these mounts from my stock swing away mirrors will I only need to plug the two lower holes in my door?

I have a passenger side only that I would part with. My drivers side just went to another member.

Yeah I have a call in to a yard from Car-Parts.com still waiting for a reply. A member on here has a set, waiting to hear back on those as well. Any good suggestions for plugging the holes from my swing away type mirrors? I am thinking some rubber plugs of some time maybe.

I think the top screws can be used with the gooseneck style mirrors. The bottom ones, I would just reinstall the chrome headed screws from the original mirrors.
