Bob,

I had the same problem on my '84.  I kept tightening the nut mentioned by
others, and finally pulled out the stud!  I ended up re-inserting it,
drilling a hole through the base and through the stud, and putting a pin in
to hold it.  Worked great. (I'm cheap.)

Subject: How to keep mirrors in place

Hi, I have an 84 Westy with factory mirrors and i'm looking for some advice
or tricks on how to keep them in place while driving on the highway.  Seems
that while driving at 65 plus they tend to fold back in towards the doors
and if it's windy they will pretty much fold in completely.

Does anyone have any tips on keeping them in place?  Thanks in advance.
