That is terrific information Harry. There are a lot of salvageable CMP mirrors out there but for the glass. There was a 'plexi-mirror' material I looked at some years ago and would have made OK static mirrors but nothing useable.
The second possibility would be to cast resin mirror bodies and install these glass pieces. The CMP mirror problem may be solved!!!

If you have intact mirror glass that has lost its reflective coating, there must still be mirror companies around that still clean and re-silver mirror glass. They all did it at one time, even automotive mirrors with odd shaped glass.

Thanks for the update Harry.
Bruce, if you search this forum you’ll see the CMP mirror problem was solved already, see e.g. http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=20335 or search for Lucas mirror.

On the refinishing; I bought some headlight reflectors from Macs. They were chrome plated? they were "Horrid" (f**n terrible!)
I had some old ones re silvered. they came out great. There is a big difference. Another note: Someone on here mentioned that John Deer sell a very similar mirror. I don't know if it is still current?
