I haven't done anything yet, but I will be working on getting some made up. The passenger doors have nothing, so I was thinking of making a inner plate to do as you mentioned like the original setup.
I'm thinking of just making a plate out of 18 or 16 gauge sheetmetal with nutserts.
The bases I have made for the mirror itself is made out of 1/4" plate, unlike the originals, so they are more than strong enough by themselves.
Once it is bolted to the door there is absolutely no flexing at all, so there should be no head vibration, etc.
