Great mirror's Jesse and John.

Bill, These are built like a brick house. Don't think anything's going to just fall out.

No slots, there are tabs on the back for mounting. I'll finish the install tonight and post pics.

Here's the mounting. From the pilot's seat perspective, they barely protrude out of the blind spot caused by the roll bar.

Jesse,

One mod you may want to do on your install is anti-vibration.

I added a series of rubber grommets/rubber washers to the mounting bolt & nut.

When I flew the right side seemed to be still, while the left side would always vibrate enough to aggravate me

I do have a very good prop balance so I did what I could there, but still couldn't get rid of everything.
