New Toy door hinge
This will be a little labor intensive when I do get around to tackling it.
IHC in the early to mid-fifties.

The threaded pin is threaded on one end, only. This is for a nut that should hold one of the parts of the mirror stem to the hinge.
I found several set of YANKEE mirrors with the IH logo on them. One set is NOS. I found several n eBay. My friend found a like new set under a table in a secondhand store.

I took the option of fitting Jeep Wrangler mirrors to my R120 doors. This worked really well and did not look out-of-place.
I made bolt plates for inside the door for the mirror bolts.
the pictured bolt plate is for a Ford application. It is an example ow what can be done.
