I have a RHS bracket for a seam mirror, what is the best way to "adjust" it to suit the left hand side? |

Rectangular hollow section? Difficult to bend nicely... Squishes the sides in |

I was waiting for someone to mention rectangular hollow section. Post a picture of the bracket Hobson, might make it easier to figure out how to modify it to suit LHS LHS is left hand side, just incase anyone thinks its Lozenge Hollow Section  *I couldnt think of any shape that started with L, google gave me Lozenge - A diamond shape |

I should have known better than to call it a RHS, being a structural draftsman, but It was Friday and I was procrastinating. refer attached image borrowed from minisport.

That looks pretty simple, if it really is SS, just clamp the vee bracket flat, then cold bend it the other way. |

Little piece of trivia for cd_design, the Renault diamond emblem is called losange in French. |

Doesn't it just go on upside down??? You will need to distance the mirror from the bracket to allow clearance at the inner edge. Cheers, Ian |

You could just draw a center line and use the mirror component tool? On a serious note Im going with Ian, looks like you just need to turn it upside down to fit, |

If you just turn it over the mirror's mount won't be vertical. may not matter... |

haha, if you notice when you flip the image the bottom bar stick out (towards the rear of the car) when you flip it, the mirror pretty much faces the ground. I will give Doc's option a go and see how I go. |
