Cjshaker: I’m not sure, but I believe that the bracket that mounts on the hinge is the only side specific part of the assembly, and that the arms and mirror itself will work on either side. Would you consider parting with the assembly and I could either fabricate or continue searching for the...

Resurrecting an old thread for the same problem, but now the original ones appear to be discontinued. Looking for an original style LH door mirror for a 1952 Canadian F1, which is already in paint, so grinding the hinge is not high on my list, can anyone suggest where to look for a good used...

It’s almost like a ceramic coating when it’s dry...

Thanks gents.... The frame was sandblasted and painted with a product that is used locally by a company that sandblasts and paints semi trailers and other big pieces.... picture attached...

More suspension and axle progress....
