Default GC8 Carbon Mirror Fixings

Hey Guys,

I just purchased a set of Carbon WRC mirrors for my RA. These are copies and I won't name the seller, but the quality seems fairly average. But better than shelling $1k for genuines.

However, on both mirrors, 1 of the 3 fixings ( the front fixing ) has dodgy threads. I know this is a noob question, but if these are only held on by two screws it should be fine right?

Also any good tips for fixing a plastic / carbon thread?

Personally I would be getting in touch with the seller - surely this isn't a decent product?

No not Japspeed mirrors.

The perils of buying products off the internet when your on the other side of the world.

Thanks guys, They seem fairly solid with only 2 of the 3 fixings until I can be bothered adding nutserts.
