Pat is correct . It is a stud with a ball mount attached to the mirror (to=

allow swivel) the other end is a 1/4-20 stud that
screws into the mirror base mount... Sooooo I have to re-thread the mount f=

I have a mirror mount on my truck door that held a rear view mirror. =20
Unfortunately the mirror decided it didn't want to stay with my truck.
So, I'm=20
looking for a replacement. The mount is drilled and tapped for=20
1/4"-28 threads and most of what I find is 1/4-20. I'm wondering if I can
re-tap the metal over existing threads with a 1/4-20 thread and it will hol=
d...or will I just make a mess of it and make it broke. The drill side for =
the
two thread sizes are within a 64th or so of being the same and the mount is=
7/16"=20
or so wide so I have some meat to play with...
=20
suggestions?

another option... drill completely thru mount and find a mirror with a stud=
=20
long enough to pass thru completely
and secure with an acorn nut (or something) at the back side of the mount
=20
<image002.jpg>
=20
another caveat... I don't want to remove the mounts from the door... involv=
es removing windows and regulators
to get to the internal nuts.
