Rally mirror insert nut tool!

[RUSTY Cuda]

For anyone interested this is the tool I borrowed to tighten the old nuts & set in the new ones on the pass door!Rich.

Kewl, I bought the allen screw, nut, washer intall kit and it worked great as well. Atleast your way is just on the outside of the door.

That looks similar to the HF one I bought, it worked good.

Yep, I got the allen key kit too, but already put the guts in the door, this thing made the job quite easy, almost bought the tool last year at grainger,  but some friends had em already so I opted to be cheap. I may never need it again. I will check the other cars set before I give it back though! Rich.

cool, I need one of those. Wonder why all the old cars seem to have the mirrors literally ripped off the doors. Its not like the screws were hidden or anything. Always wondered why they are like that or maybe its just around here.

Do we need a mirror nut tightening session at Carlilse? I could bring my tool if enough folks need to use one.
