Glenn, not getting a response from his website enquiry form after a couple of days. Are you able to contact locally to let him know I’m enquiring?
That would be great if you could.
Many thanks.
Peter
phunty@bigpond.net.auHi Stan, I think I remember just spraying up into the cable hole, and did the cable as well. I’ve since had the speedo and tacho overhauled anyway….although neither was done very successfully and I got my money back.
As least I don’t have any screeching.
Peter.Hi Ashley. Congrats on getting the old girl back on the road.
I had same issue fairly recently, turned out to be a short in the alternator wiring. Managed to score an exchange unit (but they can he rewound), problem solved (after replacing regulator…tried to creep up on the problem haha).
As Glenn said, check the output from the alternator. There’s a bit info in an earlier thread on here about mine.
Incredibly, not long after this my ever reliable 750/4 had same issue…..I think it went out in sympathy haha.
David Silver Spares are my go to supplier.
Cheers mate, remember everything is fixable…with money and patience!
Peter, South Australia.Chris, whereabouts are you? I could ask on the VJMC forum for you if you’d like. Someone will know someone….
Cheers
Peter, Adelaide.One of pics was too big to upload, here it is again…the tools used.
Attachments:
Well the mirror has been successfully repaired. The glass complete with the rubber backing was levered out with plastic wedges and levers…very carefully. The bolt and spring holding the chrome casing to the arm was refitted (the thread was partly stripped in the arm, maybe someone had been in there before) and reassembled. I put a bit of loctite on the bolt as a bit of insurance. Mirror is a tiny bit sloppy on the arm but should be tight enough to hold its position …possibly due to only part of the thread still intact.
Pics of the internals and tools used hopefully attached.
Hopefully this helps a bit if anybody runs into the same problem.
Thanks to Nigel and Andre for their input.
Cheers

Thanks Mario. Yes I have seen those, pricey but they are my backup plan. Repairs will be attempted this weekend.
Cheers.Thank you Glenn. The hot water trick will help. I received a detailed description for removal from Andre in the Netherlands, was very helpful and a friend and I will be performing the surgery next week…will report back.
I’m really keen to save the mirror as it’s original and in excellent condition…well it was, and will be again hopefully once I can refit the loose internals haha.
Cheers
Peter.
