Alot of the MAC1 I have seen have a full cage and they are fitted to that. Are you fitting it to a full cage?

They drill a hole in the cage and tap a thread.

HTH

you may need to have the rear of the mount slightly higher than the front edge to make sure you can see over the rear wheel arches

sory if the lady in the bikini spoils the view of the mirror







A pint for the gent and a white wine/fruit based drink for the lady. Those are the rules

Can't remember 100% but don't you just use the plate as a template, drill the holes, then fit the mirror and put the plate on the inside and tightten the bolts against it to hold it securely?
