[Michael MacLean]

 That's same mirror I have om my 69 GT.  The previous owner mounted backwards or upside down because I can onlt open the vent window a little before it hist the mirror.  I should turn it over!Mike MacLean69 MGB GT60 Bugeye56 Austin Healey BN2

 I used this mirror from Moss.

I used a spider washer on the inside so it would grip well and not loosen. You might try that as a first solution.

I got a 9 mm to grab. I had my wife hold the mirror while I was on my back under the car. Jacked up and braced. The nut did not tighten. So I think I have to remove the mirror nut and add a washer or two so it will tighten.  I may have to replace the mirror if it won’t tighten. Do you know of a good brand or prefer another dealer other than Moss?

 Maybe it’s metric, since it’s a repro part.

Good afternoon,

Spending sometime working on my car. I need to tighten my fender mirror. It sits just beyond the windshield. On the left side. I think it had been replaced with a moss replacement mirror. Does anyone know the size of the nut? I have had to use a long wrench extention and not having a good time getting it to grab the nut. 
Any thoughts?
