As far as the mirror it appears you are siliconing the new glass on the "outside" face. My mirror has a plastic ring and the glass sits behind. I. Cracked it putting back in and was just going to double tape the 3.75" convex which fits perfect and actually even with mirror housing.

As far as side pipe opening I am nervous but like the sanding idea as it is slow. You can't see the area which was hammered unless the car is on the lift but that's where it is 95% of the time. Great suggestions. When I pull the header to get recoated I will have plenty of room.

Ps E brake is working great with no sign of dragging or wear!!!! If the handle had about 30 degrees more travel you could have great pad gaps when brake off and tons of clamping force when engaged. This would turn a 4 hour adjustment into 30 minutes. Just need more teeth on lever or bigger lever wheel.
