I have a mirror mount on my truck door that held a rear view mirror. Unfort=
unately the mirror decided it didn't want to stay with my truck.
So, I'm looking for a replacement. The mount is drilled and tapped for 1/4"-=
28 threads and most of what I find is 1/4-20. I'm wondering if I can
re-tap the metal over existing threads with a 1/4-20 thread and it will hold=
...or will I just make a mess of it and make it broke. The drill side for th=
e
two thread sizes are within a 64th or so of being the same and the mount is 7=
/16" or so wide so I have some meat to play with...
=20
suggestions?

another option... drill completely thru mount and find a mirror with a stud l=
ong enough to pass thru completely
and secure with an acorn nut (or something) at the back side of the mount

=20
another caveat... I don't want to remove the mounts from the door... involve=
s removing windows and regulators
to get to the internal nuts.
