Bought these plastic mirror clips on eBay for £1.50.
Fixed using double-sided foam strip.

Good idea!

I wonder i some one could do a STL file for something similar then post them so others could make 3d printed versions? Just a thought , im not good on cad

Or you could just nip down to the local hardware store and buy a set! 3D printing would be more suited to the bezel and there is a design for that already.

you seem to forget I'm in New Zealand , yes we have lots of stores but options are limited ( I was over in England in Sept 17 and it blew me away the options you have) . I don't think I have ever seen these in any stores here . 3D printing gives everyone the option to produce their own even if it cost more that what you guys can get it for. International market isn't always an even playing field . Here we get what sells the most ... not necessarily what you want ... or need .
Recently while building a cnc / laser cutter for hobby work via China I found there was an upgrade with 3d printed end-stop holders for micro switches , I tried to purchase but the Chinese supplier wasn't able to supply ( don't know why but i see he's now off line...hmmmm ) anyhow he sent me the stl file and I now have them printed of just like his, great . What i'm trying to say is you live in great supply option place , not every one is

ps this is not a big deal I could spend a few hours in Tinkercad and have a crack , I guess this will be what happens. Been there done that. Just asking and looking for the best option or maybe Ebay

oh the
"3D printing would be more suited to" I thought would be you cant source local just build it and now

I am surprised you don't have mirror fixings in New Zealand. I thought these were everywhere in local DIY stores like this one https://www.rkltools.co.uk/products/mirror-clip-clear and from Amazon. They probably all come from China. You could achieve the same with a couple of pieces of appropriately cut perspex glued together or with a bit of wood. Wood is good because it is soft and easy to shape.

However, I was mostly pointing to the Bezel design which also holds the touch screen. If you have a 3D printer, it's probably a better option. See this thread viewtopic.php?f=103&t=4821&hilit=bezel
