    I would add some rubber seals under yours tank. that way you don't have any reaction to the different metals that could cause rust. Also some stainless steel fasteners will hold up better than the factory heat treated screws.

    Where did you find those for sale? One of my mirrors was damaged and I haven't been able to find these anywhere.

    http://www.rspeed.net I am sure Joe can get them for you, he is a KG-Works distributor in the USA

    They won't be listed on the website since they are special order item, so you will have to call them up 1-678-290-7504
