Accord interior mirrors

I've been using this set-up for a couple years now, and it works fine. I drilled a 7/8" hole in the little coin tray left of the steering wheel, and used a threaded and an unthreaded 1/2" PVC (gray electrical, not plumbing) sweep.

Used box nuts above and below the tray bottom. I couldn't get it as tight as I liked, so I built up fillets above and below with J&B Weld.

Sprayed it all black. Mirror is made to clamp onto a 1" stalk, so perfect.

I actually sawed off the side view mirror protrusions from the removeable triangles at the front of the windows, and fiberglassed them flat before normal bodywork and paint.

The rearview is a nice glass curved unit from EBay; cames from Israel, IIRC - writing on it is in German.
