42 cent mirror extension!

[bone crusher]

Thanks,

I went to a local harware supply today with the bolt. It is definetly metric. They had 8mm bolts with two thread pitches, 1.25 and 1. I thought 1.25 would be a finer thread but I was wrong. It does not run like SAE where it is measured by threads per inch, where the higher number would be finer. I was not able to find an exact match, but I did find the same length and thread, in chrome and allen instead of black and torx. I will use the chrome unless I can find black.

The local Industrial supply house in this area is Grainger. I looked online at thier taps sets. I am going to pose a question about this job, but i will go into general discussion, so Mike's pictures don't get buried by pages.

Thanks for the advise :thumbup:

Dude, it's 'advice', not 'advise'...

How can I pull up pics from a old post?

I am working on my 2009 RS mirrors and trying to tighten them up. I came across this post but it wont allow me to look at the pics. Last summer I added extra rubber and it held up. But this season orginial stock arms are loose and I am trying to tighten them up again. Can anyone help me with the orginal pics in this post?


Thanks so much,
Sheila

Same here. Looking for mirror extensions but it seems both ESI and Kewlmetal have gone out of business.

LOL, funny, I was clicking the attachments, 'invalid', then I checked the post date. Egads, somebody really dug that out of history.

I know this is an old thread, but will this work on a 2015 F3? The mirrors are terrible! If a car is within a car length or two to either side, I can't see them in my mirrors.
