[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1183230, member: 3828"] I am sure there are ways to do that. But drilling through the mirror base wouldn't work on the upper stud (resides under the mirror's pivot) Drilling the holes out (slightly) larger in the subframe, then using "Joint Connection Nuts" from the back side would be the quickest and easiest. The holes wouldn't be a problem in reversal as there is plenty of room for some washers under the flange nuts on the stock mirrors. Joint Connection Nuts [IMG]https://www.zyhyin.com/proimages/pb/product-pic/Joint%20Connector%20Nuts_15mm.jpg[/IMG] Those come in the required M6 x 1.0 thread pitch and up to a 17mm length. That would give us the added length we need to mount spacers and brackets. But the current version(s) of WynPro light brackets will not work. A new curved (or maybe completely flat?) bracket would be required that accommodates the 3rd Gen's complex faring shape. And them there's the ~6mm spacer(s) that would go behind the WynPro bracket to space it out for the recessed area. The upper half of the bracket will be spaced away from the faring by 4-5 mm when the lower half is flush with it. We will revisit this when Dave gets a bit more time to play around making brackets.
