Bob, how do the mirrors mount? Does it take a special type of mirror? I am thinking I would go with a square mirror instead of round.

Scott the mirror mounts with a single stud. Look at any of the Grote mirrors they have a stud on them, almost any after market mirror is mounted this way. Let me know what type of mirror you are thinking about and I'll see what I can do for you.

The nice thing is that the nutserts keep the mount away from the body slightly so there is no rubbing and water will flow between them. So hopefully no rust :)

Your welcome any time. I will get a drawing to you and Beca for the panel soon. Trying to figure out what I want :)

Of course maybe I need to bring the J10 out there on a road trip! OK Maybe to it out there to save fuel costs ;)
