For those with late model exte

For those with late model external Boxer mirrors (mine is 1983 BBi), I have experienced the dreaded break of the "knuckle" made of pot material. This is the piece that sits between the door-mounted plate and the mirror body itself. I believe I read that others have experienced this crack at the base of one of the screw holes.

A machinist friend is to fabricate an aluminum replacement. Is anyone interested? The price will go down if I make several. I do not yet know the exact price, but if interested, please let me know.

I do not know if this part is available from U.K. or other source. Does anyone have information?

Thanks.
