The Mirror bracket you see in the photo with the Arm is what I took off my jeep body. the two small brackets I acquired from my brother. However I think it is missing some parts for the correct mirror bracket.
I don't believe the bracket I removed from the jeep is correct because the holes in the tub did not exactly fit the bracket. But it was bolted to some of them and was usable.
I would like to know what attaches to the holes in the next photo.

Well, from your pic there Maeserik I have some extra holes. #3, 4,& 5.
And The bracket in my photo which was on my jeep tub is incorrect.
So looking at your mirror setup, I need another part to go with the two small brackets to make a complete bracket.

I think #3 is an extra hole. 4+5 are for the door channel.

I agree. # 3 is probably a bubba's extra hole.

I bougt several parts there, and always good quality and original !
In Europe we have supliers in the UK, but they are expensive there !
