Re: 36 Passenger mirror
Why is the arm twisted so far forward. I should be perpendicular to the car, (top should be right about where you have the mirror now). There should be a hex screw in the bottom of the bracket to secure it in the position you want

Re: 36 Passenger mirror
Tex; a different approach on my 32 Cabriolet (RHD)
Time consuming but neater, (I believe) than using the hinge pin variety ???? |

Re: 36 Passenger mirror
I'm thinking of making my own as well. You screwed the homemade bracket to the door hinge?

Tex, yes I made up a curved plate out of 14g steel to follow the contour of the hinge. I drilled and tapped the hinge 3/16 UNC or BSW and fitted the plate to the hinge. When drilling the hinge take care not to drill through the hinge pin.....you are drilling a blind hole. I believe the hinge is a forging so it's a tough piece of steel ! The arm is made of 5/16" diameter bar and I introduced a gentle curve in to that. The mirror head is "off the shelf" stainless steel. That I painted black. A fiddly job but it looks like it was there from day one; particularly painted in body colour |
