Well done squire. I'll copy and redo the layout and save it for the upcoming Tech Torque On the WEBSITE.

Looks too easy, I might even do this myself, My mirrors flop around every time I exceed 90mph.
Ta!

another thing you could do instead of the paperclip would be to drill it out and pop rivet it
OR install a self taper with locktite on it :)
had to do similar things in the past with fnord door handles and the pop rivet idea worked well

I have put the driver's side back on and there is a great improvement, Haven't had a chance to try the 90mph test yet but maybe at Easter. The Vette went back to the painter for some detailing before the reapplication of the Bra. Should get it back by Tuesday.
Thanks again!

Back in the late 80's a mirror was $175. They are cheaper now but back then I was browsing in an "english" parts store while my apprentice was getting parts for his Morry. Found a mirror in the bargain bin and asked what they wanted for it. He said "it needs a special bracket and screw, How about $10?" Oh, alright, I might be able to fab something to suit.......
