The arm that normally projects into the car so the door mirror can be adjusted<br />
from inside the Metro has to be removed using a hack saw at a point<br />
approximately 10mm from the spring retaining washer. The wing mirrors can<br />
not be adjusted from inside the <strong>Libra</strong>.<br />
Refer to drawing No 17. Where the wing mirror mounts to the door outer<br />
panel mark the centre of the boss and pilot with a small drill. With a Ø30mm<br />
hole saw, drill out the central part of the mirror boss. Two Ø10.5mm holes<br />
now have to be drilled on approximately Ø41mm centres to enable the<br />
mounting tubes to come through the outer skin of the door moulding. When<br />
drilled these holes just break into the surface of the Ø30mm hole previously<br />
hole sawed. The wing mirror can now be positioned on the door with the two<br />
mounting bosses projecting through the door and being accessible from the<br />
inside of the panel. It may be necessary to slightly adjust the Ø10.5mm<br />
clearance holes depending on the exact size of your particular moulding.<br />
Place one of the door mirror mounting sleeves T0522 over one of the<br />
mounting boss tubes projecting into the car and with a 15mm long set bolt and<br />
large 6mm washer, secure the wing mirror. The other door mirror mounting<br />
sleeve can now be fitted over the other tube and secured in a similar manner.<br />
Tighten both bolts equally to secure the mirror to the door shell.<br />
The door inner frame complete with its glass can now be reassembled to the<br />
door shell using the four stainless steel 6mm screws and special washers.<br />
Attaching the Door to the Monocoque<br />
Refer to drawing No 16. Pilot drill the centre of the indent on the front of the<br />
doors where the door hinge bushes T0510 fit. Open out these holes to<br />
Ø13mm. Press fit the two door hinges bushes T0510 into the door outer shell<br />
and tap home with a suitable soft mallet.<br />
Using door hinge bottom T0512/3 as a guide, locate the two indents on top of<br />
the sill which correspond to the two larger holes in the door hinge bottom<br />
plate. Spot these two centres with a pilot drill. Open out these two holes to<br />
Ø6mm clearance. Bolt the door hinge bottom T502/3 to the doorsill through<br />
the doorsill to door hinge bottom spreader T0504 using two Ø6 x 25mm long<br />
socket screws and large 20mm washers. The door hinge bottom should now<br />
be adjustable in all directions around the 6mm bolts by loosening the screws.<br />
Using door hinge top pivot plate T0508 as a guide, find the corresponding<br />
three indents in the vertical part of the door aperture in the monocoque and<br />
spot the holes. Open out these holes to Ø6mm clearance. Bolt T0508 to the<br />
vertical face using three countersunk socket screws 25mm long washers and<br />
Nyloc nuts. Mount the door hinge top pivot T0506 to the top of the door hinge<br />
plate T0508 with door hinge top spreader T0509 on top using two Ø6 x 12mm<br />
long socket cap head screws and washers. By slackening the screws, the top<br />
pivot should now move around freely about the Ø6mm screws. Remove the<br />
