mad_pete Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 My windscreen surround seems to be missing the bracket for the rearview mirror. Does anybody have a picture of what the 3 hole mirror bracket bolts to please ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litch Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Haven't got a photo to hand but the mirror doesn't bolt in, it clips into place so it is easily dislodged in the event of an accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 mirror clip that screws to front screen header rail looks like this click me the bracket this clip part attaches too is part of the front screen frame inner face, should have 3 captive nutserts fitted.

Litch Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 "Which I have done many times whilst working in the cab" Yep, me also. I tend to remove the mirror before starting work now (if I remember before knocking it off first). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Have the thingy in the picture. It's what that bolts to I'm missing. My screen rail just goes straight across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 (edited) the bit the mirror plate attaches to, is part of the screen frame, it's not shown in the parts book or microcat.so I can't supply a picture of it.

mad_pete Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Yes! that's it. :-). Next question has anybody got one for sale ? I trawled the entire parts catalog and couldn't find it listed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Certainly looks like it's part of the top screen rail, and not a separately available part. Does your rail have the holes where the rivets should be? Might be possible to fabricate one, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 well done James shouldn't be to hard to make one from a bit of scrap alloy plate & some suitable nutserts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweetyduck Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 You could by a new mirror and bond it to the windscreen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_pete Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 The defender windscreen has a very steep angle. A lot of mirrors don't have enough adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
