Motorhome fit out

They look like new mirrors

There back from the powder coater’s

Garden City Powder-coating in Toowoomba did a great job with the mirrors, now I’ve just got to put then back together.

All the part are back, back in Black.

I don’t need to put the spotlight bracket back on as someone has stolen them, so will have to buy some more later on. I had left them under the front of the coach, as they needed to be sprayed as they are a little rusty.

Now can I put them back together

With two box’s full of parts and two washers to make to fit between the main mounting bracket and the mirror arm. Then I will have to fit the lights inside the mirror housings and run the power cable for the 24v.

Making new parts for the mirror support.
The bit that bolts on to the coach.
The new part fit’s.
Wiring in the lights to heat the mirrors to de-fog them.
Feeding the wires in.

Now to finish putting them together and feed the wire through as I go.

Arm bracket going on.
Just need to fit the mirrors.

I’ll be wrapping the mirrors in cling-wrap, then run a bead of silicon around the housing. This is so I can remove the mirror if the globes ever blow.

Cling-wrap the mirror.
making a gasket for the mirror.
Now let it dry before removing it.
Gasket in place.

So all I’ve got to do is put the mirrors back in and run a bead of silicon around before putting the face plate on.

Drivers side all most done.
Both side mirrors finished.
Drivers side looking good.
Now that’s makes a big difference.

Don’t know who drilled the holes for the brackets but one mirror I can only get three bolt in, that’s after drilling out the hole bigger. This will have to do for now as later on I’ll have to pull the mirrors off again to paint the front of the coach some day.
