[DeTomaso] Remote mirror controls

[Larry Finch]

Jeff,

The shaft changes diameter just outside the case. It looks like you could remove no more than an eighth of an inch without having to contend with the larger diameter portion. 

I suppose you could also shorten the knob along with the shaft to reduce the overall height.

   Jeff,

   The shaft changes diameter just outside the case. It looks like you
   could remove no more than an eighth of an inch without having to
   contend with the larger diameter portion.

   I suppose you could also shorten the knob along with the shaft to
   reduce the overall height.

     The knob that is moved for mirror adjustment is a tight press fit
     onto that short shaft.

     I would be happy to provide one to scan and copy if anyone is
     willing to take on that project......
