This is a spare set that was given to me. They were already mostly detached, so it didn’t take much persuasion to pop them apart, save for one which had some epoxy of sorts in a corner which needed slicing through.
I am going to prep them for painting and then drop them off at the painter when I pick up my K1100RS body-work.
It would actually be really easy to drill several small holes (2 top and bottom and 1 on the outer end should suffice) and then use machine screws to reassemble it, as all the nuts would be hidden from view behind the mirror. I think I could get the nuts positioned far enough behind the mirror so that mirror movement isn’t restricted. I’m not convinced that I would like the look, however.
If I did glue them back together (which I would do prior to painting), what type of glue/adhesive should I use?
Thanks,
Tom
