David,
The drivers head is quite well back from the front hatch/visor and if the mirror was mounted on the RH side he would not have it in view, so moving it inboard he at least has some view to the right.

Morning Col, Tim Vibert at Empire Trading has these curved mirrors as well as the small trouble lights like the one I found for you.

Hi colin, I had a mirror arm like that, but without the crank in it. It was "TL" numbered and belong to another British tank. I swapped it to a forum member. It folded in the same manner. Easy to see the genealogy.

I'm watching this restoration, Darryl's M8, Jordan's C15A WIRE-3 and many others and can only marvel at the dedication, attention to detail and long days and nights spent in the garage. I wonder, in decades to come when these vehicles pass on to the next generation, if they will have any idea of the work and sweat that went into them. I truly hope so.
