How do side mirrors mount?

Po shaved side mirrors off doors. I want to put them back on. Do they have nuts on inside of door or threaded inserts in door skin?

There's a small oval shaped bracket. The mirror mounting bracket screws go through the door outer sheetmetal and into that oval bracket.

I guess I should clarify - my mind immediately went to the small D49 type mirrors (like are on my truck).

I'm not sure for the larger "buckeye" type mirrors....

If you need the exact mounting location let me know. I have some measurements available.

I pulled off door panels and was able to locate holes. Thanks

Do you have those for the "dumbo" type mirrors? That would be a great help to me.
