7_Malc Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I am building myself a set of Brooklands aeroscreens on a stanchion and need some guidance on attaching the various parts – side mirrors and screen mounts – to the stanchion prior to bolting the complete assembly on to the scuttle.The screen mounts come with screw holes (but no screws or bolts) and the many mirror options I have seen all have long base bolts that I think would protrude too far into the stanchion and impact on the scuttle underneath.Could anyone who has taken this path before me share some advice on what the best method is (and where to source the 'missing' parts) for attaching the screens and side mirrors securely to the stanchion,many thanksMalcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Malcolm,Do you want to retype that in English? I used countersunk bolts on the underside and dome nuts on the topside. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7_Malc Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 Thanks Ian – for both the text issues and your suggested solution. Can you direct me to a good supplier of the nuts and bolts you used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Yes, countersink the underside of the stanchion band and finish off with a nice dome head nut. Only issue is that some mirrors need rear access to the baseplate for the clamp on the mirror stem - you simply need to drill this access hole in the stanchion and adjust the mirror before fitting the stanchion to the car.

Wrightpayne Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 I tend to use ebay - Kays Fasteners (kayfast1) or Spalding Fastners (spalding_fastners). The last stainless order of various M3 / M4 washers, bolts, dome and flange nuts came from atters153 on ebay.All prompt delivery, exactly as ordered and will happily use any again.Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
