Instead of having the special head nut with an Allen socket on the shaft end, wonder if you could kind of duplicate the original style by using an ordinary set screw long enough to reach inside the door with enough extra to glue or weld a nut on the end opposite the socket. Might need to grind and round the nut to mimic the original head diameter but that should be fairly easy.

That's not a bad idea! Worst case scenario I have to pull the door apart so I can work from both sides to mount the mirror. Should be a one time project, I hope!
