Looking for new mirrors --- need 130 mph mirrors

[Gregory]

Their is a metal weight affixed to the housing of my mirrors. I always wondered if thee largest shim of lead I could get in there would stop the vibrtations over 120 kmph.

They are old and I think the spring that serves to tighten the ball socket bit has lost a great deal of material and strength to rusting.

Is it just the things going askew that bugs you?

The problem with the set I just got are that they twist out of position in the wind...not so much vibration of image.

What about some Loctite?

Then they would not be adjustable at all... and every once in a while it is handy to be able to change the viewing angle.

Are we talking about the threaded portions, or the ball area?

How annoying, and dangerous, is that?
