Is there any evidence when this 'early' arm was replaced by the standard arm? I've been through my files but can't find a single picture with this early style mirror arm. I own 106163 and I'm curious if I should need one too.


A while ago there was a very complete early Slat (101632) including the mirror arm, but it was the normal style. If you're interested and want to take a look, click here: viewtopic.php?f=69&t=287695

Regards,

Jos

My slat is 90% original. The long arm mirror is original to mine. I have the low windscreen 101948 12/41
I want to post a pic but can't figure out how.

Jerseybouce the way I post pictures, I email them to myself then I am able to degrade the picture quality and send them to my iPad. It’s extra work but works for me.

Which style are you stating you have? The regular style or the hex-nut style? (And if you'd like you can email me the pic(s) you want to post and I can post them for you)

And I am pretty sure the VAST MAJORITY of Slats were NOT delivered with the hex-nut mirror arm. Of all the factory pics and in-service pics I have seen I have yet to find a Slat with the hex-nut arm. (Other than of the very first few Slats) Can someone produce an original factory or wartime pic of a Slat with the hex-nut arm? Or how about an very original unrestored Slat with the hex-nut? Jos posted a link to a VERY original Slat that sold, and it had the regular type arm.

I have asked this question before in the link below. The answers I received include it was for an MA, M151, M715, and/or GMC.

Here is a link to a period pic of an MA (look at the cars in the background). You can clearly see this MA has the Hex-nut style.

And another:

And on this page scroll down a little bit to the color pics. Those are period and distinctly show the MA with the hex-nut
