Hi all

I am currently fitting some late model outside mirrors on my panel truck.
And have to remodel the base from the mirror.
Some parts i have to fill in a inch or so and other parts 1/8 of a inch.
What type of material to use.

Any help welcome.

Please no discussion about the looks, as i don't know if i like it myself :drunk:
But got a rear view for shure.

Thanks for thinking with me.

My goal is to let the feet from the mirror take the shape of the door.
And use a thin rubber gasket between the door and the finished mirror.

I was thinking there are so many new cars being customized on ,bumpers,spoilers and so on, there has to be some kind of epoxy/putty on the market.

But i don't know where to look for it.

The finished product will be sanded in to shape and painted.

Any help welcome

I am probably wrong, but I didnt think ABS liked to be reshaped very well. That said, if it does, give that a try.

Fusor 142 is probably my favourite for filling with plastics. Again, that said, you'd probably want to contact them as I am not sure what its 'recommened' maximum thickness is, if any. It is a two part product, that when used properley is rather strong, and fairly easy to sand.
