I have a 73 vert, it was missing the original mirrors, I have now have original oem 73 mirrors, I'm having a problem fitting the remote control fitting to the door, I have new Ford approved door cards (plastic backs).
How is the remote switch/knob held to the door card? the remote mirror door card hole does not align with any holes on the inner door metal.
I have the chrome screw-on bezel that screws onto the control knob threads and a black round plastic spacer which has a slight lip on the outer edge and is slightly bigger that the screw threads, this I assume goes on the door card outer and the chrome bezel screws on and squishes up to it and that black plastic spacer is used to prevent the chrome bezel damaging the outer door card face.
But should there be a retaining clip /locking ring that goes behind the door card as without anything on the rear the control switch will just pull through the door card.
My Original 73 workshop manuals (Electrical Volume 3, page 35-50-02) are not very clear it shows two parts the chrome bezel nut-17B732 and plate 17B733. It seems that I may be missing that plate and the plastic piece I have is not actually the correct part.
Anyone have a picture of the control switch fittings my googling is failing to bring a positive view of that area, or confirm that the plastic part I have is not correct, if so anyone know where I can get the locking plate 17b733.
