Took me till tonight to figure out how flickR had "improved" sharing of pix. I've changed the attachment to the mirror arm since. I was able to get the screw out of the mirror and arm, so I enlarged the hole in my DIY bracket then twisted it to attach 90* from before. That way I got rid of the rusty bracket.


These were cheap 5" plastic-backed mirrors with mild steel hardware, about $6 apiece at Advance Auto Parts. As I mentioned earlier, the unencumbered flat mirror along with the large wide-angle addition provide a very good rear view.
Since then I've added a truck turn signal lamp on both sides. The "lollipop" with Amber and Red faces.
