968 Mirrors on the 951 what do I need?
So i'm buying a set of 968 mirros for the 951. What all will I need to mount them and make them funtional on the 951? (Besides paint obviously)
This is what they look like now:

I don't see any wires. Are they manual? If so, they are a direct bolt-on. You will just need a switch blank to replace the switch on the consol, and a blank for the adjuster on the door card.

Tifo i'm not sure if they are manual or not, just sent an email asking.

If there are not any wires in it, its a manual. Which is good because they are light weight, low drag.

I thought the 968 mirrors wouldn't work with the 944 controller for the power mirror/heater thingys. Is that not correct? If not, I may need to rethink my position on the 968 mirrors - they DO look nice although I think the price of 'em is usually pretty wacky.

This is what the seller said :
They are electric. The connector is behind the mirror on the 968 style--that's why you may have to change them from the 944 style. But, the motors and mirror wires are there.

I put 968 mirrors on my 951 about 7-8 years ago. I don't remember all the details, but what I do remember is i cut the connector off the 951 doors, plumbed the wire up the mirros and simply spliced them. I am no wiring wizard and it was very simple to do. Took maybe a few hours if I remember correct.
I have no connectors now though. They are hard wired with solder and heat shrink so if I was to remove the mirrors I would have to cut wires.
Other than that is was a "bolt-on". One of the easier 944 jobs I have undertaken....

Wes, IIRC you can just look at the wiring diagram and match them up, solder, heat shrink and keep the connectors. I do not believe there is ANYTHING severly different that will not work with the stock 944 wiring. Glad to have you back.
