B@llx! ...Unexpected new fix (Mirror)

[AntStark]

Yip.. like new with some resistance

Looks a good job that.

Why did you end up using the original spring rather than the one in the kit and what size threaded rod did you use?

 

[AntStark]

The old one had a bit more give which I needed as the aluminium was binding due to the corrosion. The new spring is exactly the same size as the old though. I’d also just spent an hour cleaning it up and spraying it so bugger if I wasn’t going to use it

Threaded rod is M6 or 8 I think..a long bolt would do it as long as it goes through the middle of the pin
