M35A2 mirror arms

[LuckyWolf]

My deuce came from it’s previous owner fitted with some tiny wing mirror arms, so short I can’t even see down the side of the body, I have some of the original arms but not enough to make it work, does any one have the lengths / dimensions of a set of west coast mirror arms that I can use to make new sets, luckily I have the large curved one that goes around the exhaust on the passenger side
Thanks

I have the west coast style on mine. They make a big difference for visibility. I'll be glad to take some measurements and photos for you later today.

Sorry, friend, but the weather has been nasty all afternoon here. I haven't been able to get out to take any pictures. Tomorrow afternoon should be clear, and I will try to get things together for you.

not to worry buddy,
I’m in no big rush, she’s not moving anywhere for a bit as I’m going to be removing the radiator this weekend for repair

Yeah, my 5-Ton had its radiator removed about two weeks ago. It is getting a new core and replacing the rubber on the end caps. Just waiting on the radiator shop to report that the job is done. (waiting impatiently)

Ok, I have taken photos and measurements. For the measurements, I used a cloth tape measure and I took the overall length, including the angled bends at the ends of some parts. I'm afraid that you'll have to work out the angles on your own.

I'll start with the driver's side mirror, as shown in this photo


Top-most door hinge to mirror frame:
60.5cm
Top-most cowl mount to mirror frame:
79cm
Mid-level top door hinge to mirror frame:
39cm
Mid-level cowl mount to mirror frame:
50cm
Lower door hinge to mirror frame:
69.5cm

Passenger-side mirror, shown in these photos


Top-most door hinge to mirror frame:
60.5cm
Top cowl mount to mirror frame:
86.5cm
Mid-level top door hinge to mirror frame:
39cm
Mid-level cowl mount to mirror frame:
59.5
Lower door hinge to mirror frame:
70cm

I assume that you already have the mirror frames, but I'll be happy to measure those as well if needed. Please let me know if you need further info, or clearer photos of anything. Hope this helps.

Thanks, @marchplumber ! I've received lots of great advice and knowledge on this site over the years, not to mention entertainment and friends. I'm happy to have the chance to pay it back in some way, I just hope that my small contribution really is helpful.

Thank you!!
you are a gentleman and an absolute star!!
now I can crack on making the bars for my truck and for a friend,

Many thanks again,

wishing you a very merry Christmas and great new Year!

I purchased a complete used set on Ebay a while back for around $50.00 with free shipping. You might want to check and see if anyone has some for sale. That is a lot easer than fabricating your own.

Thankyou,
I have been looking but to no avail here in the UK,
I have some original bars but not all, I have some galvanised tubing which is almost the same diameter and a friend who can make the bars the right length and shape with the measurements I now have thankfully, I shall post photos once I have them made

Here is an old thread which helped me a lot, when I made mine (almost two decades ago!)
