I have hinge pin mirrors on my 30 tudor, the gap between the hinge and the mirror is probably 1/4" when i screw the set screw in it almost threads completely thru the mirror, I shimmed up the gap with a piecece of aluminum strap wrapped in black duct tape to prevent marring but this does not hold the mirror in place . Any suggestions?

Yes mitch it is but when i screw it all the way in there is hardly any screw left in the mirror body, i tried a shim between the mirror body and the hinge face but it will not stay in place i could get a longer screw but i also do not want to chip the paint because of the screw.

You know something, I got a pair of left and right upper hinge mirror brackets that were labeled from Vintique and both are very close to the actual hinge body and didn't require a longer set screw.
I am reading this and wondering if there wasn't some difference in the thickness of the hinge brackets themselves. Since I only have my transitional '28 Tudor, I don't have any to compare it to, but you can bet that Thursday at cruise I will be checking the different year/models that we have in the club.You wana look waaay far up da road and plan yer route because the brakes are far more of a suggestion than a command!
