Phil N Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Hi, I have got hold of some englemann mirrors which I am painting white to match the car, I have some questions which google can't find the answer to so they are either obvious or can't be done- Firstly I have separated the mirror from the stalk by undoing the big nut inside the casing but is there a way of getting the metal balljoint thingy out of the stalk? I understand from a thread on here that they were originally mounted using self tappers, is this correct as the door skin is very thin..any advice or tips? Also is there any measurements to where they were originally mounted, if not can anyone suggest what they did? Thanks, Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil N Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 forget the answer to the first question as I just needed to man up and force it a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robah Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Speak to Lepo5 (Paul) on here as he gave me the measurements for the mirrors, but I have misplaced the figures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stradacab Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I got them off hi too, think it might be in my J thread. take your point regarding the skin. I made two steel plates that were small enough to slip through the holes in the stregtnenerbrail at the top of the door and Sicaflexed them on to give extra rigidity and some more meat to screw into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
