Is the Ramco mirror install as simple as ratcheting out and in bolts?
1. Ratchet loose 4 bolts on existing stock mirrors. I assume these bolts
are held to MH by rivnuts or similar threaded inserts.
2. Remove stock mirrors, wrap in bubble wrap for any who want the assys and
frames (both mirrors are cracked.
3. Place gasket from JimK over hole pattern, place new Ramco mirror over
hole pattern, ratchet 4 bolts down tight.
We're located in Dome Rock BLM just outside of Quartzite today.
I'll only have an hour or two away from work projects to accomplish this,
so want to make sure I don't loose a nut inside the frame or other
happenstance that leaves us mirrorless for a time.
Actually, the mirror version is the turn signal model, but that wiring will
be accomplished later when I have more time. For now, I'll drill a .5" hole
centered in mount pattern, grommet the hole, and fish the wiring through.
For the last month, I've been playing checkers inside our coach with the
rather large Ramco box, so would like to get at least that out of the way
while utilizing the larger, non-cracked mirror surface.
Any help is appreciated!
