Took my rear-view mirror down to clean up and paint, it was looking pretty scabby. Have a few questions though. It looks as though the vertical shaft was coming loose, and the previous owner attempted to repair it by drilling it and using a grub screw to hold it in place.
I'm going to give it a good clean, knock down the burrs from where it was drilled, sand it smooth and then prime and paint it. Before I paint it I want to glue the stud in and fill the hole. I was thinking of using JB Weld or some other 2-part epoxy like this:

Any opinions?
Also, what is this made of? Feels like pot metal, too heavy for aluminum.
Thanks
