Default Mirror stem

Thanks Rob, Ron & Mike . All good info. According to my knowledgeable source , the stem is 10” overall and the rod bearing the mirror is 6.5 “ long. I’ve made mine a bit longer c’ause i play in traffic with my Carrier and i wanted to see over the entire width of the road behind me . I have to deal with logging and wood chip trucks on my nearby playground and they go really fast .

Default MkII Carrier specific coolant recovery tank

Thanks to my good friend SuperDave , i am now the owner of a good core to work with. This tank configuration is specific to the MkII Carrier . Two brackets on top with the vent and one on the bottom with the inlet .I have already located the holes in the division wall.

While the configuration is specific the tank itself is common to all Fords of the era. These tanks were used (with specific bracket configurations for..) on Cab 11/12, Cab 13 and Lynx as well as carriers.

You might be able to source a better tank from another vehicle and re-rivet your carrier brackets on to it.

Just for the general info, here is an original NOS MkI UC mirror arm.
Sorry, I have cut the top off in the photo. The shaft is plain to the top, as seen.

Got my new gas tank ( a 800 Km drive but made a vacation out of it ) . The fuel pick - up and screen are there . Very happy with my new «*tank*» . Very complete , only missing the 6 V electric sender everything else is there with all MKII Canadian part numbers. Original paint. Both vents, brass cap with retainer , Inside baffles .Last picture is the sump or drain and we see part of the screen from the fuel pick up line . Nice find. Thanks for the heads up George ( Brengunman ) from Saskatchewan and Grant Bowker for posting the link.
