Mirrors
Locating Pins
Sometimes I add locating pins to the mirrors when they may be difficult to place,
or need extra strength.
This will ensure I position the mirrors in the correct place, and make for a strong
mounting.
I drill a locating hole with a #74 drill into the body and then
position the mirror and mark the hole location on the mirror. I CA-glue a piece of 26
gauge wire into the mirror to serve as the locating before painting. When attaching the
mirrors to the fairing after painting, I use Microscale's Kristal Klear,
white glue or some other cement that will
not harm the paint. You can even use a drop of clear acrylic paint, but this
doesn't dry as fast as glues.
