Default Rear-View Mirrors for CMP vehicles

'Afternoon All,

Would anyone know of a source for stock rear-view mirrors for CMP's? Our Museum has three (operational) CMP's but there's only one stock rea-view mirror between the three of them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here's a link to our Museum:

Cheers,

Chris Preston,
Victoria, BC

Default Original CMP mirrors

Hi Chris,

Chris Camps in the UK had some NOS Argentine army ones back in 2015. think they all sold out but he may have gotten in more stock. He is on MLU.

Alternatively MG TA-C mirrors are the same but chrome plated. They were a standard Lucas design used on many British vehicles pre and post war.

I had two replica MG mirrors that I bought from Holden Vintage and Classic in the UK. I later got the originals from Chris Camps and they are 99.99% identical.

Hope this may help.

Cheers,

If it I simply drivability get some round M-series mirrors- way cheaper. If it is originality, they are available here on MLU through one of the fellows who gets them from Argentina.

Dirk Leegwater at LWD parts has the mirrors for 75 Euro each. http://www.lwdparts.com/
It might seem pricey, but you will pay more for a mirror for a POS Honda accord.

Default mirrors

John Deere sells mirrors that are very close to the army ones I bought some original ones from Argentina a few years ago for the carriers are the truck ones the same size?
