The after market mirror (Baby Tornado) broke off the other day on my daily driver. So I sourced a OEM mirror from TC. I got home and figured this would be a 30 install back to original condition. But nooooooooooooooooo
One of the several previous owners decided to totally screw up the original mounting holes by drilling out the threads in the door. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) Now what in the hell do I do to fix this? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I don't want to tap what is left as I would need to drill the holes in the mirror base larger and use different screws. I'm thinking of takng 6mm nuts and filing them down and pushing/beating them into the holes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) I also need to fill the 1/4" holes left over from the other mirror and of course I need to clean up the rust that has started. The shit that you find as you work on these cars.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Attached image(s) ![]() |

The gasket should take up some of the distance. Otherwise, the helicoils can be turned in to be flush with the surface.
I had to use some to repair a stripped thread on my mirror. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) We use them and threaded inserts all the time on the green racecar. The top part is thinner than the gasket that comes with your mirror ...
