for a new guy, this site has been really helpful. Typically I can find just about anything I am looking for and can always learn something when looking around at the posts. My question is if there is a good trick to "stiffen" up the exterior mirrors on my '68. They have been replaced but the pivot point works too good. When I get up to speed the wind "re-adjusts" them, mostly pointing toward the ground. Is there some way to make them harder to adjust without ruining them? Thanks in advance for the advice.

You might try a couple of drops of locktight after you get it set where you want it.

I would guess that would work, but I wasn't wanting to loose movement all together.

I think the locktite will still allow some movement. I'd try to break it loose before it sets up rock-hard. Then it will act like a shim

You could try staking the bottom with a small center punch, but then you take the chance of cracking the pot metal. Another possibility would be to drill and tap for a small allen head set screw.

ah who needs exterior mirrors .... pshh who cares whats behind you when your doing like 100 smile.gif its all about whats going to make you come to a dead stop smile.gif thats infront of you like a train or another car or a bus? a cat...dog ...moose raindeer ...it rains deers now too hehe ...you know what i mean fellas !

thanks for the suggestions, I will give the locktite a try.
