You need a different bracket for the lower positionI’d like to run the drivers side mirror in the lower position. Do I need a different assembly or mounting tabs?

When I raised mine up I changed the upper bracket and the lower was ok
Found what I was looking for on GP browsing.
Looks like the lower bracket is:
PN 12342137 Angle Bracket 5340-01-314-1956

What mirror heads should I be looking for for lower A2 position? NSN?
The lower heads have a notch on the side as seen here , down near the top of the lower glass....
The upper bracket for the higher position is shorter and less angle than the bracket for the lower position. If you look at the lower hole on the body you can see how it’s further forward. I also replaced my mirror head and it doesn’t have the notch. Action helped me find the right one for the higher position.I changed my mirror from lower to upper and didn't have to change a thing. Are the brackets really different? I think it's just the mirror head.
to seeing how this works for me when I get the 1151 road worthy. In the upper position I found my LT turn visibility excessively impaired with mirror adjusted to TM. In the lower position I seem to have much improved forward LT visibility.
I don't think I have ever seen the mirror head mounted forward of the tubular part.Mirror installed in lower position with new bracket.

Looks like I need to re-adjust the mirror positioning relative to the frame. I'll do that next.

Post #4 pics is adjusted really close to the dimensions given in the TM. Forward of frame doesn’t look quite right.
