For a Stadium mirror bar end mount mirrors, are grips with holes in the ends required? Asking for a friend.
Thanks

I took an appropriately sized piece of copper pipe, filed the edge to a point and used it as a punch on the end of the grip. Made a dandy, correctly sized hole for the bar ends I used.
Yes thats the best way. Trying to cut with a razor knife never seems to do a good job.
 
Bought a set of el cheapo circular hole punches from the local hardware, put the punch inside the grip resting on a piece of backing wood, 1 hit, worked perfectly.
 
Advise your friend that the method of securing bar-end mirrors can be greatly improved by fitting a proper anchor bolt, (aka "Rawlbolt"). I found it necessary to open up the manufacturer's bolt hole a little with a drill bit to take the new bolt. The original mounting mechanism is distinctly Michael Mouse, and the mirror is now solidly secured and pretty much blur free. Highly recommended.

I've tried to attach an image (JPEG file) of an anchor bolt but haven't yet figured out how to - most odd...
