mirror relo

[NAILER341]

I'm glad I'm not the only one cutting my hands to pieces

I am now reassessing the sitch. Should I get a tetnus booster and try again or should I go for another solution?

Will the mirrors be useless when they are moved: vibration, position.

I could weld some clever tabs on the roll cage and bolt on those :yay:

I found some mirrors with roll bar clamps.

the mirror movers put the mirrors into an undesirable location. on the drivers side it is ooook with no doors. with full soft doors it is hard to see it. you have to lean into it to see everything for a safe lane change.

on the passenger side... it is a whole different story. you actually see the mirror through your windshield. it is strange at first, but you can get used to it.
the only way i have found to make the mirror on the passenger side have acceptable coverage of the road was to put a large convex mirror onto it.

i have gotten used to it, but it is less than desirable.

HA! we have all been there.
reach your hand up in there with the appropriate wrench. when you are finished, you can tape up your hand to prevent infection of the bloody mess you have just made of it

those mirror movers suck.... all of em'.

I went through the same headache. I thought there were nut serts like on the side but as you have found out that is not the case. The radio speakers also make it hard to get your hand up there to put a box wrench over the nut. It took me a while but you just have to keep feeling around until you get the wrench over the nut. Putting the bracket on and tighting it up is just as much trouble. If someone has an easier way let us know.

hmmm... I've had some luck on aircraft if you can get the screw out just a tad and put an upwards pressure on it... sometimes it will come out for ya. If that makes sense.

I tried something similar to try and at least retighten the screws...no luck :mad: :mad: :poop: :beer:

I want to run sans doors, 'cos they are getting beaten up

So I buy a pair or mirror relo brackets that mount to the front side of the windshield hinge. Pull out existing bolts, slap on the bracket, and install bolts, I thought.

But noooooo :mad:

The bolts loosen with a crack and I didn't strip the torx head. But the scews just turn round and round, they won't come out or re-tighten. :mad: :mad:

What's going on back there?

I was guessing a nut plate (like the other locations) but that doesn't seem likely. On the DS I can't get my fingers anywhere close. On the PS I can just feel the screws but the whole lot is covered in dried gorilla snot so I can't tell whats underneath. :poop: :poop: :poop:
