    Hi Guys. Dont know if anyone can help? My panelbeater painted some mirrors for me but managed to cross thread and stuff the bracket hinge. Is there anyway of removing this from the painted housing or is it all built in?

    When the mirrors were made they were assembled using the bracket hinge first and securing it with a spring and nut. This allowed enough tension to ratchet for adjustment. Then the swivel was hot glued into place. Then the glass was attached to the pivot plate that had double sided tape. They could not be dismantled.You can see in your photos how it was done.

    Is just replacing the mirrors only a straight forward job and are they something you can buy from Repo places or just can your local glass man to cut them for you, cheers
