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

[shew01]

I found some time to work on this today. It turns out that the clip that anchors the mirror to the door with Allen at screws is removable (it’s attached by a Phillips screw). A belt sander was able to remove a pie slice shaped piece of metal so that the mirror is angled more toward the door. This mirror is usable now.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I use one of these on the right side of my coupe.

I wonder how a hinge pin mirror from an early VW bug or other car with hinge pin mirrors would work on a Model A? Clamping those peep mirrors to my paint give my heartburn...

I just use the hinge pin mirrors Snyder's sells but added 5" heads so I could see better.

I've got a VW mirror like that I mounted to the windshield stud instead of the wing nut on my '28 open cab pickup, but it's mounted horizontal. Even those mirrors are hard to find.
