Default Carrier mirror stem

Does anyone have an original mirror stem from a MK1 (TL12900) I have the fixing plate but the stem has been snapped off. I could do with knowing the diameter and length of the stem so I can cut and weld on a new one.

Thank you

Ben

MRoss is a great guy, I am sure he would be kind enough to post it here for all the carrier brethren to share.
Maybe we should have a separate thread on repro carrier parts with dimensions, drawings etc?

Default Mirrors.

Ben, if you can wait til the next meet, I can lend you one. A Canadian carrier has the mirror mounted on the drivers front plate, a British carrier on the drivers side plate, now some bodies going to prove me wrong??.

On the mirrors:
The Desmo one has the 4 screws on the two edges, while the (raydot?) ones have them on the back. (see my pics)
On the brackets;
I have Two NOS ones at home. One has the stem arc welded to the plate. The other is spot welded.
Bruce, yours appears to be spot welded, or are the two parts sweated together?

Lynn,
The Lucas mirror had the screws in back face.
Here is a picture of a Lucas one;
