Thread: Where can I buy peep mirrors that attach like this????

Brian, thanks for the comments. I recall that you had to tighten your steel lines quite a bit and I am concerned that the check valves have aluminum threads while my lines and fittings are stainless and much harder than the aluminum so I guess all I can do is tighten them carefully and look for leaks. It looks to me that you are right in that it will be much easier to mount the mirrors with external screws than to try to put a nut on a rod through the windshield post. Still I recall spending about two hours trying to first get my fingers in and then another hour getting my fingers out of the tiny hole which leads to the windshield bolts on an MG Midget so to get a wrench down the inside of the post could be very tricky. In my former career I always found it was only about 1/10th the cost to machine aluminum than stainless steel so maybe you can get somebody to whittle some aluminum into a bracket and then have it anodized whatever color you want. Anodized aluminum surfaces will last a long time unless they are scratched and can be made into a variety of glossy colors.
