Fairing Mirrors Install Question

Did a search couldn't find an answer...

I bought a set of Street Glide mirrors on eBay to put on my '08 Cop Glide. The mirrors don't have any mounting hardware beyond the stud. It seems to me they should have a contoured washer or backing plate to match up with the contour of the inner fairing to spread the mounting load across a larger part of the fairing. A flat washer wouldn't seem to work because the mounting area is not flat.

Anyone whose installed these and can shed some light on this, please help.

Thanks

It shows the parts used for the installation.

I got it thanks. Can't print it until I get new ink.

How can I be sure I've got it 100% size. From what I've read the position is critical. The factory even had to initiate a recall when they drilled a bunch in the wrong location.
