I didn't see a size specified in the original ORD 9 SNL G-758 manual so I looked in the updates and found this in the January 1966 edition of the TM 9-2320-208-20P manual. Might be the answer......might not....

I have a "King Bee" mirror off a WW2 jeep; that's 5-1/8" diameter. I think it's one of Darcy Miller's repro's.
Most of the jeep mirrors I see for sale are around the 5" size.

I had to drive over to my project garage where the M38A1 is undergoing brake work - its mirror is 5". Also too small!

i agree skyjeep the 5 inch seems small to me also.
evanso it's funny you posted that mirror because ive been looking at them on ebay. i'll contact the seller and see if they have the rubber on them. or i may just stick with the 5 inch mirror i have now, although its not anti glare either. thxs
