Robert, you did post your first picture "right side up"
Btw, I thought it was interesting how you've mounted the mirror to the arm.

Hiya Lynn. Could you post a picture of the way you guys mount the mirrors please? It’s the first time i handle and see these original British WD mirrors and they did’nt come with instructions....The mirrors i got from Grant in Victoria BC when i was working there last year.Thanks .

Here's mine. Did they ever fit one on the left side as standard?... But then I did fit two to my Willys Jeep. I'm also very close to the shed door frame when backing out.......Artistic licence don't you know! Ron

Your mirror arms are incorrect which is where the confusion starts. It looks like you have chevy or else post war M-series arms. They should just be roundstock welded to a flat piece bolted to the hull.

Default Carrier horn

Very nice Carrier Ron , very nice . Did they all come with the Ford horn ? How is the horn hooked up ? Bracket ? Where is the switch for the driver to operate it ? I have had this Carrier for 4 years now and i still have plenty of questions !
