Neil,
Do you have a Moss catalog? They have a pretty good diagram of the
mirror assembly (p. 112 on the latest catalog). It's comprised of the
mirror, a nut plate, a couple screws and a bracket (the diagram shows
the bracket under the nut plate, but I think it's a fair assumption the
nut plate goes under the bracket--that's how i assembled mine). On the
bracket, the two screws go through the upper part into the nut plate,
and the bottom of the bracket has a hole for the single, chrome-plated
screw and flat washer located dead center of the dash.
I'd send a link, but Moss doesn't have the diagrams online. I'll get
some photos today if you need them, but the diagram is pretty
self-explanatory and, as you mention, I don't think you can see much
with the heater in the way.
