Before I start trawling through the internet, has anyone a spare Milenco Aero mirror they might care to part with? Lost one on the  London North Orbital after  a big HGV whooshed past me.Obviously I hadn't tightenend it on hard enough!! Too dangerous to stop and go hunting for it because of intense traffic.

Thanks.

    Do what I did when the same thing happened to me - buy another pair and then you will have a spare in case it happens again 😀

    Having had my pocket "hurt" by the same many years back I have added to each a short lanyard with plastic "clip" to hook around the car's mirror and back on the cord. The Milenco "blocks" have the spare holes to fix the lanyards to.

    Not had cause to find that it works, expect it would rattle a bit against the door but probably survive with no consequential damage.

    It also helped that with the old blocks without a rubber gripper pad, adding an off cut "band" of racing bike inner tube, to place over the clamp's tang,  provided that same much need extra grip.

    Have now purchased another Milenco mirror off Ebay but thanks for the advice given. Think I will attach a cord to stop the mirrors from coming off again.
