I posted a reply to another thread that the mirrors are very close to the door (less than an inch) when opening. Also, numerous times upon entering the cab I hit the mirrors knocking them out of adjustment. So I made up a couple brackets that move the mirrors forward 4" and out 1". Also noted previously that I drilled water drain holes in the mirror bases.

Good idea. I wish I had a cab or ROP to mount a mirror to, but with my old tractor, I just drilled and bent a long flatbar to mount to my fender to hold my mirror.

I want to move my mirrors up about 3" or so. Every time I walk past the tractor I hit my head on the mirror and there goes the adjustment, out of whack again.

That's very clean, George. Looks nice.
I'm curious what's your reason behind the other bracket you have mounted between the two mirror mounts? Did you want to reposition the work lights? Or add mounts for more work lights?

John,
The other bracket I made. I relocated the existing cab work lights to it. That way if I need to pop the top canopy I don't have to unplug the lights. I also added 3 flashing amber strobes to that bar and have room for another LED light like I put on the back. Yes, I also made a similar bracket for the back. I have a 24" LED light and 3 amber strobes mounted to it.
Here's a couple pics.
