Anybody know where my dumb@ss can get a new piece of mirror glass to replace the piece I just dropped? :mad:

Ha ha ( Nelson Muntz ) I just had a measure up and mine are about 98mm for the actual mirror so I figure that they are a 100mm or 4" in diameter mirror . Why not go get a ( not to ) cheap 4" mirror and take the glass out of it. The ole Paso mirrors , the glass is set into a plastic insert , with the swivel bit on the back , and the whole thing is held in by 1 screw that hides behind the blinker reflector . dig the broken glass out ( practice w/shop safety , its no fun having sharp implements removed from your body ) and using a couple of blobs of silicone sealer stick the new bit of glass in. I can post some pix if you want as I just happen to have a mirror in bits in preparation for painting.

Yeah, I had my blinkers apart a few weeks ago and had taken the screw and the mirror out. I then placed the mirror back into the blinker assembly, without replacing the screw, and set it on the workbench. When I picked it up today to re-assemble everything the mirror fell to the ground, shattering the glass. Luckily, the whole thing popped out of the plastic insert. No digging required. Yay for me!?!?

Yeah, one of mine shattered a while ago - at least 9 years ago, now that I think about it - and I just measured the good one and had a local glass shop cut me a new one. 100mm/4" is what I used too. I don't think it cost me $5 and haven't had a problem since.

Let me know if you still need a mirror. I may have an extra one in my broken parts bin. How do you get the mirror out of the housing?

Sorry Jason,

I have been searching for that mirror but am unable to find it. I moved here about 10 months ago and am still unpacking boxes. I will let you know if I find it but it's not looking good.

Sorry,

Jeffreyt

i might be wrong but i think a morris minor glass is the same size?

No problem....I really appreciate you even looking at all! Thanks!

I did stop by a craft store yesterday and found a couple of 4" round mirrors for <$3. They are a little thicker but I am going to try one out and see how it works. I will let you know.
