Default Early mirror arms

Does anybody have the dimensions of the early solid mirror arms ? These were fitted to cab 11 and maybe early cab 12 . Its a tapered arm that has a fixed mount that doesn't swivel / A sketch or drawing would be nice Thanks

yes single piece , it has a cast type mount on the pillar. So yes the whole assembly is cast or forged or whatever

Mike,

I think it was Andrew or Tony Smith that posted this drawing a few years ago.

Default Good

Ah thats it . Should have searched this forum but not easy to find specific targets The 13.5" arm is tapered I believe ? It should be thicker than 1/2" at the lower end. 13.5 " seems a little short also ??

The more I look at that sketch, it doesn't seem correct

Just measured up mine. The end diameter where the mirror goes is 1/2. But the rod tapers up to 11/16 at the base end. It’s a pretty consistent taper. The 13-1/2 is correct

Well, in that case, the picture didn't come from me!
