+1 on great instructions...

 

Thanks gringott.

 

Thanks man... super helpful.. imma gonna try it tonight..

 

NP just let me know if you don't understand some part of it. I think the best results are to play with it a bit, moving the inner rod and then tighting the outside nut that holds the whole assembly. Just don't overtighten or strip something.

 

sweet it worked fine! no need to take out the whole thing like you did..

all I had to do was separate the mirror from the base by removing the nut... then using the hex key I turned the screw on bottom very slightly clockwise(without needing to loosen the brass insert or using snap ring pliers).. DONE!

very simple.. everyone should check the tightness before putting these mirrors on.. so simple to do..it may save a lot of aggravation later..

The main reason I disassembled it completely was to gain an understanding of how it was supposed to work. Something the vendor might consider are a set of simple instructions.

 

I also have the real Craftsquare's and tightening the screw holds it in place very securely. I've hit 120mph with zero shaking or moving and I also have it purposely 'loosely' tightened.

 

Yep, all you have to do is loosen the nut and then tighten the hex screw and it fixes the loose pivot point perfectly. Thanks Gringott!

 

anyone know a place where i can get these...

thanx

I-M Racing is having a special, if they have some left.

 

My mirrors have held up fine. i had taken mine apart when i got the bases painted though. i am always guilty of overtorqueing things, but in this case i guess i got it tight enough

 

then again these are "knock-off" Craftsquare...

 

damn I put mine on before i tightened the mirrors. I have to take my panel off again. My driver side blows in at 50mph. But thanks for the instructions very helpful!!!!

 

you actually dont have to take off your door panel to do it. you can get a wrench in there and loosen the nut if you have one of those ratchet wrenches.

 

thanks for that man!

 

it has to be a really small one though..

and after tightening mine about 6 months ago, it has gotten loose again grrrrr...

I dont know why you guys are even bothering with those horrid looking mirrors, they dont look right at all,, just take them off.

 

No way man, I love it... we all do!

 

i had the loose mirror problem (pass. side) after getting my Z back from a paint shop (kit repaint). i finally took it apart and realized that the fix was as easy a tightening a set screw. I don't mean the 10 mil that is accessible once the mirror is mounted. i am talking about an internal set screw. the mirror has to come off to make this adjustment. here is a pic..everything is all good!!
