How can I bend a peep mirror arm without breaking it?

As an alternative, consider hinge pin mirrors. I like them much better than the door clamp mirror you show.

Thanks for the suggestion. The previous owner had a hinge pin mirror to go with the car, and he aborted putting it in because he didn’t want it mess up the nice paint job.

The restoration was done in the sixties, and fhat hinge pin is likely going to be a demon to remove.
