I have a manual outside left-hand door mirror, I would like to change to the remote mirror.

Where do I make the hole in the door panel? Is there already a punch-out somewhere?

thanks

going to do this also. maybe someone could measure the location for the contoll hole to be drilled .
 
The hole isn't in the door panel, it's in the metal at the top of the door. I'll get a measurement in a bit unless someone else beats me to it.
 
Just drill a hole for the remote switch housings threaded chase, Just make you guide the cables away from window or regulator travel.
 
hell they dont work anyway,you wind up using your hand to adjust them

I just did this. Look at the backside of the door panel, there is a " knock-out " where the remote thing goes. At least on my 75 there is.
