Peep mirror mounting issue resolved

[brianrupnow]

I have been trying to come up with a way to mount a pair of peep mirrors on my roadster pickup. This isn't as easy as you'd think, as my cowl and windshield posts are actually from a sedan, but I have no tops on my doors, and no rain gutters. Today I purchased a pair of peep mirrors, and after disassembling them I found that I can make a stainless adapter plate, which will bolt to my windshield posts (I will drill and tap holes in them), and will also bolt to the mounting base of the peep mirror without modifying it an any way. (except for unbolting the pressed steel flange that would normally wrap around the door edge or rain gutter.) In the model I have created, the purple part is the windshield post, the transparent yellow part is the peep mirror base, and the blue part is the adapter plate. I will make the adapter plates from stainless and polish them to a high lustre to match the chrome on the peep mirror base, then attach them with stainless steel screws. In the model, the visible side of the blue adapter plate is the side which faces towards the front of the car.-----interesting stuff!!!!
