Anyone found a 100mm convex mirror glass. Closest I have found so far is 95mm |

Walmart, 3 bucks,convex 95mm close works good not a perfect fit tho.. same thing at many auto stores. At most auto stores you can get a blank for 4 bucks,not a convex you can cut with scissors to fit. I have had no luck this side of the pond for 100mm. The euro guys don't seem to care ![]() ![]() |

95mm are 3-3/4", right ? I didn`t find any 4" (100mm) convex mirrors, but finding 100mm flat ones is no problem. The original ones are also flat. i.e. http://www.craftamerica.com/darice_round_mirrors.htm http://cgi.ebay.com/Lot-of-10-4-Round-G ... 1|294%3A30 in Germany you can find 100mm round flat mirrors in craft supply shops |

95.25 mm is 3.75 inch not that anyone will notice 1/4 mm ![]() 100mm is 3.94 just enough less than 4 inch to fit the plastic mount not that I have found a 4 inch mirror. found 4 and a quarter in convex Just might have to give them a go,30 mirrors for 13 bucks is quite a deal ![]() ![]() |

took a lot of digging but I found a scientific mirror glass supplier that had 100mm convex with a focal length of 250mm,blackened silver backing on glass should be a good quality replacement. I'll post here when I get them |

Bought 4 mirrors delivered for 32.17. Not the best silvering job I have seen but they do work and fit well,just a little spotty up close makes them look like they need a good cleaning up close. Took some bon ami cleaner too them and it is definitely the silvering not the surface. Overall I give them a b grade. Good image and perfect focal length. |
