Acco mirrors?
Tony I have just spent an exorbitant amount of money buying 2 of these mirrors knowing how uncommon they are here in New Zealand (They have not yet arrived, and they cost $55.00 each plus $17 in shipping USD) Any how I believe these were the same mirrors that were fitted to the 6x6 internationals that the Australians sold our Army in about 1970. They were unpopular because of the size, and because of the curve it was difficult to judge how far away things were, and for any feeble reason ended up in the workshop bin. If only I had known.
Incidentally the 6x6's were posted to 4th Medium Battery to be gun tractors towing the 5.5inch guns. (5.5's had electric brakes), and I was an apprentice at 1st Inf Bde Gp L.A.D. Workshops
Anybody know who made these mirrors? They were fitted to all C.M.P's?, Aust Inters. GMC's and Jeeps in Argentina. What else?
