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) ![]() |

You can get oval head stainless screws at McMaster-Carr for a stock look, and for cheap. (20mm long are $7.85 for 25: http://www.mcmaster.com/#90258a288/=45lk6h ) I had to do this on my passenger side, because when I drilled to add a mirror, I munged up the threads on one hole. So I got the McMaster screws, with washer and the self-locking nuts). |
