Cheers Martin.
At the time of writing that , I found no information on the interweb about rebuilding a door mirror.
I noticed the removable "panel" in the plastic housing - the young lad in Bristol, by the name of Miles was visiting my gaff, and identified the star lug washer _ I'd never really come across them before! That was the "trigger" for me to come up with my countermeasure.
So I thought hell, what have I got to lose and got stuck in - It was very refreshing knowing that I saved a fortune repairing it and I do try to do most of the work on the Delorean myself to keep costs down.
Another thing was when my car was exported to Dubai as one of the batch of 50 that went to the Middle East, it was sprayed red and a lot of the textured black panels were sprayed black at some stage - including the mirrors.
I used an old tin (rattle can) of gasket remover that took the paint off without damaging the grain on the plastic so it was a "Win-Win" situation.
I hope you manage to find a generic motor?
