Hi all.
I made this driveway mirror and mounted it to a post. I needed to be able to adjust its tilt and rotation a bit with the mirror in position, then lock it securely at the correct angle.
I tried to use pipe fittings with locking collars (picture attached), which worked for a while but continually moved with wind despite being secured with "permanent" threadlock.
So what I think I need is metal discs with holes through them, which can be rotated in relation to each other then locked in place with a pin. Almost like a super-robust lazy-suzan bearing with discrete stops. They use large versions of what I'm talking about on exercise machines, to adjust the position of armatures for different-sized people. I tried searching using relevant terms but haven't found anything. Maybe I just don't know what they're called. Any suggestions?
I'd make something myself, but I don't have the necessary tools to cut and drill through steel discs.
Thanks!
