Loose Sport Mirror Repair

I saw a video on youtube showing how to repair a loose mirror head. It looked easy enough so I thought I give it a try. Every thing came out as planned except the quality of the replacement lens.

Removing the mirror lens out of the mirror head wasn't hard since I had them apart last year for paint. Breaking the glass took more effort than what the video showed. Using a Dremel and small cut-off wheel grind the rivet heads down and the socket came out without a fuss. Squeeze the socket in the bench vise. Drill 7/64" holes and used #6 self-tapping screws to reattach the socket to the backing plate.

Now I have a mirror that doesn't flop around. It will be nice to see the different scenery the mirror is going to offer, other than the top view of the road or the side of my door.
