I quick note on how I modified the Anvil mirrors. You need to use the internals from a 2nd Gen Camaro mirrors. I don't like the cable operated drivers side mirror so I make my own mount using a stud ball from McMaster Carr and make a few small parts.







I also had to make mount to bond to the mirrors to mount the mirrors to the doors.

Pretty sure there's a market to have these bit mass produced Mark! I'd love to eliminate the cable on my driver's side mirror! Tight work!

Can you please tell me what you used to bond your side mirror aluminum base to the carbon fiber?
I've done a test using the loctite marine 2-part epoxy but it doesn't hold like I expected.
Thanks
Mike

You could use what is called B-1/2 in the aviation world, it will work.

I used 3M panel bond adhesive. I'll see if I have a part number.
