    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

GS 1100 mirror disassembly?

Anyone ever taken one of these mirrors apart with the screw in the back? I'd like to swap the glass out without damaging the housing parts. It appears the housing is assembled and then the glass glued in sealing it up. I was wondering if a heat gun would break the glue bond and get the glass out? It is a Tanaka mirror.


thanks, Pat
 
All I can say is DONT mess with that screw until someone comes along here to tell you what to do! Don't ask how I know Doh!!!
 
Ya, you can't take those apart. The screw does make a slight adjustment to the mirror by tightening it up if it become loose but you can only turn the screw a 1/4-1/2 turn at most before either the mirror cracks or the screw falls out of it's nut and then the whole mirror is loose and unusable.
