Soooo - the car is in for a new alarm and the good ole installation outfit manages to thump the mirror and loosen it on its mounts.

Now I could drop it back - but as this involves a long afternoon off work - and watching their experience of TVRs I felt better to fix it myself.

The quesiton - what size allan key for the grub screw securing the mount on the pivot?

And why oh why is the grub screw out in the most inaccessable position on the mirror.

I suspect the allan key is also going to need reshaping so any advice/pics here would be much appreciated.

Lesson learnt, next time any work is needed, I do it myself, and stuffups are mine.

I've had the mirror broken off too. I think you must unscrew the whole lot as one to re tighten/get at the allen screw...others may know better. Don't tighten it too much else it will split the mounting post
