The small circular mirror was originally intended for clamping to a body panel seam -- Austin Mini door leading edges, as I recall.  I carefully bent the support bracket to align the mirror on the raked stanchion, and the setscrew clamp works as well on the stanchion plate as on a body panel.

Other folks have adapted a single-screw mirror mount to a stanchion screw.  I've never been crazy about that approach, although it's seemed to work for them.
