Rear mirror mount?

Hi,

Question seven hundred and seventy seven!

I'm fitting a Lucas mirror to an aluminium mirror mount (Thanks Paul W!).

Roughly how long should the shaft, with the ball on, be protruding from the aluminium mount.

How long is yours?!

Awaiting some interesting replies!

Cheers,

Geoff.
 
Thanks for the replies - I knew I had worded the question badly!

I can't provide photos, as I am away from the car for the next couple of days.

I have removed the stalk from the mirror, and am now shortening it, and threading it to fit the aluminium block. What sort of length should it be?

Basically, what I need to know, is: How far from the windscreen should the mirror be?

I know it may be a personal preference, but I just need a rough guide.

Cheers,

Geoff.

I've just converted a mirror for someone, with an original mount.
Measured from ball end , along the stem and through the mount,
in a straight line to the glass is 64mm.
