01112 Hollowed mirror stems detail- Once the main part of the mirror was sanded I dremelled out the stems to hollow them enough to allow the base plate to fit, and drilled the holes through to take the springs. I took out quite alot of material and found a problem... The stems didn't quite match up with the baseplate and so the fit would be bad. I had no option but to add bumperfill material to the stems and reposition them slightly. Once done I inserted the gaskets and squeezed in some bumper filler to give the above profile. As they are rubber the gaskets just peeled out afterword leaving a nice profile.
