    O.K.--We got peep mirrors. I made up adapters from stainless steel and polished them, then mounted them this morning, as per the solid model. It seems to work allright, and it looks good. I used #10-32 stainless steel screws to mount the adapter to the windshield post. The post has only one layer of fairly thick sheet metal, so I drilled and tapped it and used blue loctite on the screws---time will tell if this will be strong enough to support the mirrors without a problem. I mounted the mirrors about 1" below the top of the post so they won't interfere with my top header when I make my Carson style top.----one good thing here, I didn't have to modify the peep mirror in any way, just removed the "flange" that gripped the door edge. (it is attached with one bolt).
