Some one cut the wire to the mirrors<\/h1>\n

Like many other wire’s, the mirror de-fog wires had been cut. when someone fitted the spotlight brackets. I only found this out when trying to get the mirror de-fogger to go.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Side mirrors have had the wire’s cut for the de-mister’s on both side’s.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Now I now why the wires were cut, no holes in the spot light bracket\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

To start with I didn’t think this little job was going to that much of a problem, once again I was wrong. So now that I’ve started this job we may as well fix it for good. The first job is to pull every thing apart so that I can get all the bit’s powder coated.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Drivers side mirror off, now to finish pulling it apart.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Will have to strip it all apart to re wire it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Mirror out, but this one was glued in & I cracked it getting it out.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The cut wires at one stage went to two lights in the mirrors to heat the glass up to de-fog them. I thought there was going to be a heating element in there, but two 24v light globes would work just as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Lots of parts for just mirrors.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
But something just will not come apart. Bugger!!!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
And another one that will not move.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Even spilt some blood on this job.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I don’t think anything had been touched for years, so bolt and grub screw are seized up. Now I will have to drill every one out, then try some easy out’s.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Drilling the bolt out so I can use a easy out bit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Well so much for the easy outs, they didn’t work. The next plan is to drill them right out and use some recoils and new bolts. This job just keeps getting bigger.<\/p>\n

\"\"
May as well recoil the lot of them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Just have to tap them to size now.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Still more to go.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
Every thread must be done as they are all stuffed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I’ve even had to recoil the bracket point on the coach as they had rusted and they were stuffed to. Well at least when I get to the stage of painting the coach I’ll be able to get them off again.<\/p>\n

\"\"
the coach looks a bit weird with out the mirrors on.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

All the part are off to the powder coat shop for a good sand blasting, then a coat of satin black. Also I’ve been of to O’Brians Glass to get new mirrors cut too, so now it’s a waiting game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
