[urq] URQ door mirror

[Patrck Carlier]

I think I could machine parts like that .
That is if it can be done with ordinary lathe and mill work .
I don't have the equipement to cast parts .

But I'm not familiar with this mirror problem .
Anyone have pictures showing what part we're talking about

Oh yes, that sounds familiar. I thought better of a "me too" post earlier, 
but I've noticed the same condition on my car & I suspect there may be 
others with this problem. Has anyone considered a group buy on a machined 
replacement part? I don't know if it is practical, but I'd be in for a pair 
if it is ...
