Mirror Screw holes

[dlbraly]

The mirrors on the 63 are loose.
The screw holes are wallered out.

Not sure if they will hold, but I ordered some of those plastic license plate nuts and screws.
At some point I will replace the mirrors, but this might keep me from spending that money until after I get it running well.
Waiting on Carburetor throttle shaft bushings to finish rebuilding it.

I plan on starting replacing the wiring harness Today.

Is the weldnut thick enough to do a heli-coil?

I used nutserts to install a passenger side mirror, perhaps you could drill it out and use a nutsert, however you'd likely have to remove all of the old weldnut as a nutsert needs relatively thin metal to attach.

A stop-gap measure can be slipping some wire in between the threads to take up some of the thread gap.

Can you get some longer bolts and add nuts on the other side of the wallered out nuts

[dlbraly]

LOL, well that was a dumb idea.
I did one and it held, but can tell that will not last.

I like the nutsert idea.
Looks like they are just holes and no threads. Maybe the backing nuts fell off or something.

Yeah, I was thinking just a bolt and nut.

[forestb]

Is it on the drivers side or passenger side?

[dlbraly]

Both sides have 1 or 2 loose.

Also used nutserts for my new doors, you can use a bolt the size of the nutsert and a size up nut to crimp them down.

They seem to be holding pretty good so far.
