Personally, I think it is a great idea to mount Raydyot mirrors on the windshield post. I made my own brackets out of .125 aluminum plate, cut them out using a cardboard pattern with a jigsaw, sanded the edges smooth and attached them to the windshield post with screws that were cut a tad longer than stock. The bottom of the bracket is sandwiched between the lower windwing mounting block and the windshield. On the passenger side I found that the mirror could not adjust enough to allow the driver to see down the side of the car so I bent the bracket outward approximately 20-25* to compensate. With the mirrors on the windshield post there is no interference whatsoever with the windwings and there is no visual interference from the rear fender flares because they are mounted closer to eye level. Look at the following photos:
