Great find... It is always exciting to see a project vehicle with so many original parts... Especially the top bow brackets which are almost never left in place!

Hi Andy,
Any chance of a photo of the mirror arm please?
Trying to map some data on them and gather a pattern of what was on what and when, even if you think it’s not a correct arm.
Thanks, Ian.
