    Default I just finished my Magic Mirror installation - will this work??

    Hi folks, I just installed Magic Mirrors. The Mirrors went on fine! But Lamonster's video showed a small washer between the screw and the magnet, and a larger one between the magnet and the bike. I only had large washers in the kit. I installed the large washers between the magnet and the bike, with no washer between the screw and magnet. Will that work?

    You should be OK. I just looked at mine. The washers between the magnet and bike are there to give space for the body plastic to fit under the magnet. I don't have any washers under the screw head and they've been installed for 8+ years & 40k+ miles!

    Lamonster has TWO videos....one video explains why the packaging washers between the MAGNETS should be discarded. Do not put a a washer between the HEAD of the bolt and the magnet. BTW could you provide the dimensions of Lamonster's magnets including diameter, thickness, and the size of the bolthole? Thank you!
