Unfortunately it's in bits for repair but here's an example. Mirror glass is convex as well.

Close Bob, but no cigar. The C60S manual gives New Departure number 928 for the Pivot Pin Bearaing Assembly (in parts group 6.106) with ford equivalency C01Q3123B shown. And here's a link to a previous thread discussing more alternative part numbers. http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...eering+bearing

Excellent Chris.

Attached is another pic of the typical CMP mirror (pic from the forum). One of the tell-tale details are the four screws on the backplate.
I have been looking for these for quite some time and I know others have as well.

EDIT: I see Lynn has already posted the same pic, my bad.

Do they not have ebay where all these parts are stored? Or do the owners not know the value of these items to certain "fringe" collectors?

Hi,

I will get a good selection of spares in the next container. I won't be able to work out prices until they arrive here in the UK.

They do know the value of the spares and don't seem to be in any rush to sell them. They have owned them for at least 40 years. Obviously I will have to take into account shipping cost and import duty port charges etc.

I should get a photo of the mirrors tomorrow.

If anyone is interested in any of the vehicles let me know.

Chris

Terrific find, Chris! Makes one wonder just how many more of these treasure troves of CMP Spare Parts are still tucked away in all the various countries that purchased large quantities of the CMP's etc. post war. The big players like Pounds and Levys are long gone now, but there are probably a lot of smaller operations off the beaten track, with significant, yet to be discovered quantities of NOS spares.

Congrats!


David

Chris,
If you find the shift knobs that belong to a carrier, as shown in picture 3 of #31 on this page (2), I would like 2 please if available.
Great find, you must be still trying to take it all in. Good luck, and ... a very lucky find.
I hope all can benefit from your good fortune. Will be following this thread or any other related to this for further progress.
Doug

Chris,

Did you happen to ship one (or all three) of these rare beasts to the UK, perchance?
