Ztarum, your solution worked, thank you. I figured the mount for the bullet housing would have a couple of bolts with nuts on the inside of the body of the car, such that you would have to have access to that inside area to take the nuts off and put them back on. Very, very difficult access there. But the mount actually has two position screws on the ends that simply fit into holes in the body without any other nut or attachment mechanism inside. There is a single, center bolt that tightens to a nut or something similar inside, but the nut is solidly attached to the inside of the body. So, as you said, it's simply a matter of unscrewing the single bolt, removing the mount, drilling a new hole for the far end of the mount to effectively raise the mount, then reattaching in the new position. As you suggested, I made sure the mount in the new position would cover the old position hole. The mirror still isn't worth much, but at least it's arguably functional (not aimed at the pavement) and with a convex reflector should be much better.
I would never rely on the mirror, for example changing lanes left, without a head look back. In this car, with no roof or side frame, you have great visibility. I understand the mirror is a first check, always to be confirmed by a head look back.
So . . . on to the next small project my new, bad ass SPF. Left turn indicator works perfectly, engage, it stays engages with small steer movement, then after you come out of a full left turn cancels. Right turn indicator . . . not so much.
Again, thank you everyone for all the help.
