I've had these mirrors for 2+ years now, and absolutely love them!! They fit perfect, no new holes and never lose the adjustment. Here is a photo of my 84 with the mirrors installed. https://photos.app.goo.gl/htYwjPe75QTTT94E7 I've tried hard to avoid drilling any new holes in the van, and so far even with awning installed, I could remove everything to look OEM if necessary. Although, I didn't replace that crazy pin-stripe when after re-painting!
