Re: [T3]


<x-charset iso-8859-1>Hi Will,
Best thing with wing morrors with cracked glass is to get a glass company to
cut a new piece of mirror glass, and then stick it in with silicone sealer.
Don't use contact adhesive eg as that will remove the reflective layer!

I think stainless was generally used later on than 66 - more like 70.  Even
then, many of them were chrome plated.
The rounded mirrors are not very common these days - the cast stems tend to
break if any attempt is made to dismantle them.  I have the odd rounded
mirror, but I'm not sure of the side without checking it out.
