mirror glass replacement
I sourced these replacement mirrors in the UK, they are Lucas type 160 mirrors and while they sell the chromed mirror assemblies reasonably I enquired as to replacement glass and indeed they had them. bought 6 to replace a couple of assemblies I had with broken mirrors and a couple of others are wearing out and loosing there reflective material with age.
I waited until i got them and installed them, they fit, they are nice and i recomend them. My correspondence and their contact information. Quote:

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.

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?

John Deere mirrors
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

Gordon, I bought the John Deere ones and I am very happy with them. Readily available but as you say not for the purist.
I have never had anyone say to me that truck looks terrible with John Deere mirrors, they have said though where did you get original mirrors from. Ken
