Ramco Mirror 94pt

[Gregory OConnor]

My Ramco Mirror on the drivers side wobbled lose. There is a black
plastic socket liner in the swivel below the mirror frame. This plastic
was broken when I tried to retract the frame. The set screw is jammed
in the thread. I guess there is oxidation holding it jammed??? I called
Ramco the mirror maker 1-800-321-4819. They are sending free plastic
ball sockets out 2 pieces for each mirror. I asked for the upgrade
suggested by RandyD. The aluminum up grades are $5.04 each. I kept the
plastic as I fear the aluminum will eat up or polish the ball if it is
spun. ($20.16 is another fear.)The Ramco parts person "Kim" was nice
and suggested I not retap for an oversized setscrew. she said they
drill and use helicoils in the repairs????? I can only guess that the
stainless helicoil with a stainless set will help the screw not get
jammed????
Ramco parts "Kim" had the part number by just giving her the make and
year of the bus. she said my 94 is a series 6000 mirror (this post is
made for search reference I will followup when I do the repair)
