Finished product. Fits just like the original mirror with 0 play.

Wow this is the perfect solution @beaterfl5. I ran into the same issue with the new clips not latching on securely and happened upon this post. What did you use to attach the two pieces together? I was thinking of J-B Weld "Clear Weld" epoxy.

I took it to a machine shop and they grinded everything down smooth and then used the original center thread to put it back together.

thanks. much smarter than my plan of cutting off the old part with a Dremel and then attaching it with epoxy 😆
yeah def take it to a shop and have it done with someone who has the right tools to do a clean job. I actually used a dremmel to remove the oem type r mounting bracket off the mirror, and had the shop do the rest, but in hindsight I should have taken both mirrors to them to begin with. Would have been a much better finished product.
