    Wanted reflective mirror for Large Durant side mirror 71

    As the subject states. I need a new reflective mirror for a Large Durant side mirror.

    PM me if you can help or know where I can get one cut. Locally the auto glass places tell me it's not possible.

    you could buy one of the repros from Pelican and just use the glass (it's all they're good for - the quality of the metal is poor). I think I might have one laying around that I would sell for 1/2 price if I can find it and you're interested.

    Actually that's exactly what I did. Unfortunately it fell off my shelf overnight and the glass cracked down the middle.

    I'll send you a PM.

    Can you not just get one cut? We replace them all the time. Just use the original thickness otherwise the plastic retainer will not fit. Original is 3mm from memory.

    Hope that helps

    I just found a local place will do it for 15. The first 5 all said not possible.

    Like Alan said, sometimes you get a thinner mirror, which is what my local mirror shop did, but you can just use a piece of material behind the mirror to make up the difference.
