    Thanks for the help. I have a much better idea of what goes where now.
    The trafficators look cute but won't bother with them.
    The rear straps just connect to the back of the tub and the front straps do connect to the "shark's teeth" brackets on the top of the windscreen,
    I'm not sure what the hook for the front "shark's teeth" bracket looks like and if anyone knows where to get them that would be great. Otherwise I'll bodge up a fitting somehow.
    Also, an idea of where I could get the mirrors and brackets from would help. Suspect I'll have to get them from UK but maybe they're the same as one of the later models?
    Cheers
    James

    IMAG1770.jpg Trafficators mounted on blocks on W/S Frame .IMAG1773.jpg Guard mirrors & arms mounted on W/S Frame brackets . I have been looking for 30 years for correct arms to mount here. They are like hens teeth. IMAG1767.jpg This is the way Exmore Trim attach the tilt to the lugs on the frame IMAG1769.jpg And the way they attach the strap to the inner lug.
    The bags in the tilt is to stop the birds nesting in my garage pooing on the tilt

    Thanks for that. Very useful.
    I've decided at this stage to use the clips on dog leads to hook the straps to the windscreen brackets, until I can get the proper ones, and the pics give me a very good idea of what I need for the mirrors.
    Thanks again.

    th76LO3D4Ohook1.jpg This is what the hook looks like , I think you would get it from some one who works with canvas Or do tent repairs. Your dog lead clip may be too thick & rub a hole in the tilt.

    The mirrors I used are readily available on Ebay & can be bought with longer arms if needed. I also used some motor bike mirrors I found at a swap meet for many years .

    Most, if not all mirror arms, part no. 262658 sold today and advertised as 'fits L/R 48-84' have got 3/8" threads.
    You have to enlarge the hole (or fit an extra bracket) on your windscreen frame to fit them.
    48-53 windscreen mounted mirrors need a 5/16" thread . The part no for a 48-53 mirror arm is 262679.

    Thanks for all the info.
    Have ordered mirrors and arms - they didn't specify shaft size so might need to enlarge the holes. Found a canvas repair place that will give me a quote on fixing the tarp when they get back from holidays... Hopefully they'll have suitable hooks for the front straps, otherwise I might bodge something up (think you're probably right re the dog lead clip idea).

    The hooks seem to be called a J-Hook.

    Found a few suppliers is Australia plus one in India but you probably have to buy a container load !

    Not quite the exact profile but similar 25mm Double J Hook - JustStraps2go

    This one is in stainless so might be expensive but correct profile.......worth a phonecall http://www.prorig.com.au/stainless-s...il-prorig-S326

    Stainless ones here also https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&r...8zccla1tniv2ur
