I'm looking for a bit of advice on a fixing that I'm trying to find (ideally from Screwfix / B&Q, as they are local).
I've got a 10kg 1700x600mm mirror with a thick wooden frame that I need to mount within a 25mm steel square tube framework. Here's a very basic text illustration with the inner mirror and parts of the steel frame either side. I need to get the mirror to pivot (up to perhaps +/- 45 degrees), with some resistance to keep it in place.
What would you suggest using for the pivot fixing? Is there anything off-the-shelf that I can buy which will offer me some resistance and fix to the wooden frame and steel tube either side.
If I can't find anything, I may just resort to using a bolt as a pivot and wingnut to fix the angle in place.
