In all the pictures posted, one question is nagging me - what are the pieces
that you are using for the mirror "arm" bracket. It looks like white tubing
bent at the top and bottom, but for the life of me I cannot figure out how
they are connected to the cab post. What's going on there?

Well spotted! It's a hack :-) The doors have had a triangle cut out of them
as they were so close to being perfect it would have been a shame not to use
them, and the mirror brackets are flex tubes bent to 90 degrees. They are
attached to a couple of pins (2M screws if I rememebr correctly) which were
screwed into very small holes drilled in the side of the doors. The flex
tubes then fit nicely over those. I have some photos of this process for
putting on my web site  - it isn't a cover up, honest ;-)
