Default Here's my mirror mod

Well I think this is about as simple as it gets. One of those CIPA concave mirrors from Autozone, or other parts store, it came with the L bracket already.

From Home Depot
2 1/2 inch long 3/8 bolt
3/8 nut
2 metal washers
4 rubber washers (didnt have anything thicker, so I got 4)
3/8 wing nut

I had to enlarge the hole to fit the 3/8 bolt. but other than that. what you see is what I bought

That's nice, good job. I may have to do this instead of the other mirror mod I'm doing....or have done.....or meant to do So many mods, not enough time.

From Home Depot
2 1/2 inch long 3/8 bolt
3/8 nut
2 metal washers
4 rubber washers (didnt have anything thicker, so I got 4)
3/8 wing nut


Where did you use the 3/8 nut you listed? I see the wingnut, but you have another nut listed???
