[Healeys] Rearview mirror mount

Neil,

Do you have a Moss catalog?  They have a pretty good diagram of the 
mirror assembly (p. 112 on the latest catalog).  It's comprised of the 
mirror, a nut plate, a couple screws and a bracket (the diagram shows 
the bracket under the nut plate, but I think it's a fair assumption the 
nut plate goes under the bracket--that's how i assembled mine).  On the 
bracket, the two screws go through the upper part into the nut plate, 
and the bottom of the bracket has a hole for the single, chrome-plated 
screw and flat washer located dead center of the dash.

I'd send a link, but Moss doesn't have the diagrams online.  I'll get 
some photos today if you need them, but the diagram is pretty 
self-explanatory and, as you mention, I don't think you can see much 
with the heater in the way.
