mirror glass replacement

[David Dunlop]

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.

a friend had a set done like that, expensive and looked lousy in my opinion.

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?

I posted about the John Deere mirrors on the C60 thread. They are cab interior mirrors and are convex like the original CMP. The CMP mirror was 2 3/4" x 5 5/8" (7cm x 14cm ) and the JD mirror is 3 1/2" x 7 1/2" (9cm x 14 cm) so a larger mirror. For the purist not a good match, but the larger area gives a better field of vision. And being Deere and Co., not cheap
