Hi Andy, bought my complete mirror set up for a CCKW from Midwest Military, John Bizal. I had seen the setup on another halftrack and really liked it looked very period. They are 5" mirrors. Not too bad once you get used to them.

so the 5 is good? I ordered the whole assembly from them, in the end they shipped the arms but no mirrors so i'll look for them locally. I can get them in 5,6 and 8 round. I think the 8 might be to big so 5 or 6 would be ok

5 works fine or 6 would be ok. I wanted my mirrors to be incognito Plus I could fold them back behind the gas cans.
