A side view fluid meter counter assembly comprises a mounting bracket to mount a mechanical counter to an end of a fluid meter (e.g. gas meter) and a drive mechanism to drive a counter shaft of the mechanical counter from rotational movement of a rotationally driven member of the fluid meter. The rotationally driven member has a drive shaft extending in an end facing direction to connect to the drive mechanism and the mounting bracket mounts the mechanical counter in an orthogonal direction to the end facing direction such that a face of the mechanical counter is viewable from a side of the meter. The drive mechanism may comprise a worm drive. The drive mechanism may further comprise a pair of bevel gears. The mounting bracket further mounts the drive mechanism. Further provided is a fluid meter having a side view counter.
