Impressive! Well, having broken the clips on my chrome "bullet", I discovered your other post about Rawlplugs, hot-welded a couple in, and... it worked


So thanks for that.


Things still aren't quite right - I swapped the good motor from my old o/s to the n/s (which had the knackered gears, the original reason for my embarking on this awesome foolishness), then fitted the complete brand new mirror to the o/s, and...


The n/s now only rotates in about 2/3 of the way, despite my checking it and believing it to perform correctly before bolting it to the car.


I'm tempted to leave it like that - I've already spent about 3 b***** weeks on it, and suffering from PTSD
