INSTALLATION
Follow the instructions included with the mirrors for
disassembly. You
may have to drill the holes in the base
larger to fit the included screws.
Have a friend help you locate the mirror on the fender.
Use wide masking tape to protect the fender where the
mirror is to be mounted.
Use the plastic gasket to mark the outline of the gasket and
the mounting holes onto the tape. Make sure the gasket is
facing in the right direction.

The mirror is assembled as shown.
Position mirror pedestal on the fender over the hole
markings and within the gasket outline.
Holding the pedestal in position, drill two

marked, making sure to hold the drill at the proper angle.
Be very careful when putting in the screws. If they are too
tight in the hole, "adjust" the hole size with the drill.

TOP SNAPS
The top snaps were trial fit before paint. If the screw holes
have
paint in them they should be chased with a

bit. If the stud goes in with some difficulty, use a similar
sheet-metal screw to “chase” the threads in the fiberglass.
Use a fiber or plastic washer under each snap. Do not
over-torque! The studs are plated brass and break easily.
