Apparatus for securing a side mirror to a vehicle

A kit for securing a side mirror to a vehicle, comprising:

• a solid body having a base surface, a top surface, first and second holes through the solid body from the base surface to the top surface, and a third hole that opens to the top surface wherein the base surface has a contour that is complementary to a contour of an exterior surface of the vehicle, wherein positioning the base surface face-to-face with the exterior surface of the vehicle enables a central axis of the first hole to be aligned with a central axis of a first threaded hole in the vehicle and enables a central axis of the second hole to be aligned with a central axis of a second threaded hole in the vehicle, wherein each of the first and second holes has a counterbore that opens to the top surface of the rigid body, wherein the third hole opens to the top surface in an area between the counterbores of the first and second holes, and wherein the third hole is threaded to receive a threaded screw that attaches a mirror;
• a side mirror having a post, wherein the post has a distal end that is threaded for threadably connecting to the third hole;
• and
• first and second screws each having a threaded shaft and a head, wherein the threaded shaft of either of the first and second screws is insertable into either of the first and second holes until the head of the screw is received within the counterbore, and wherein the first and second screws are sized for threadably securing to the first and second threaded holes in the vehicle.
