CMP mirror replacement

[David Dunlop]

That is good to know.

While savouring a large beer mug full of tea a short while ago, something jogged in my mind that the silvering process for mirrors at one time involved use of a mercury based compound applied to the glass. Unless that process has changed recently, it might be hard to find a place willing to redo an older mirror of any kind. The very thought would likely send the nearest environmentalist running and screaming into the woods!

The part number : CO1Q 17702-C
In that part number, the "C" indicates a revision of some kind to the drawings. It could be as simple as a change to the mounting bracket, or as major as the curved glass. Without seeing an "A" or "B" type we will likely never know.

That said, every mirror I ever came across for the CMPs was curved. I also had success cutting other similarly curved mirrors to replace the glass. I believe the original AVGP mirror glass worked out OK.
