They probably all used to be one way round, and over the years they've all got turned around as we get older.....
...does anyone make a good replica of original Shelby reversing sensors, by the way?

The one used on CSX2000 is a Lucas 584 dip mirror I believe, with a 103 stem. I've seen a couple Cobras with that mirror but it's not the more common clamp-style mirror with the 104 stem.
On standard production Cobras, I think a lot of "restorers" put the mirror back on facing rear wards but my experience is it gets wacked more easily sticking into the cockpit. Facing it forward, it doesn't happen as much.
