All,
What I did on my mirrors for the outside of the car
is went and purchased a Truck Outside Rearview mirror replacement, the large
rectangular ones, and took that to the windshield repair shop here. They cut
those down and used them to replace the glass in the outside mirrors. It's about
the same thickness and looks GREAT! Now my quest is to find the correct glass
for the interior mirror (which is a different animal all together). The
windshield repair shop seems to think they can find it for me. I have already
powder coated the base, retaining ring and shaft (gotta love Eastwood
products!), so I am only lacking the glass now (slightly frosted at the edges,
so I can LIVE with it if need be). I'll keep everyone posted. But for the
outside ones, just get the truck glass and have it cut down.
Good luck all and have a FIN-tastic
weekend!

Hey Frank -
I haven't found any place that will do this. It may be
better to scout around for an NOS or mint used mirror.

Speaking of which......
I went to my upholstery/glass shop the other
day to get my twin strut mirror glass replaced on my '59. I get a call the
next day saying they can't do it because the glass is too thick and their
replacement glass isn't as thick and wouldn't look right. Does anyone know
of a place that can re-do or replace the glass in the mirrors? Thanks
in advance.
Take Care,
Frank

Anyone
Has
anyone out there in FL land replaced the glass in a rear view
mirror? I've called 5 or 6 autoglass and mirror shops in Northern
Bergen County, NJ and just about all of them said they don't do it.
Is there a reason? The reasons I got from a couple of them is that
they can't get the glass to stick and they don't cut small pieces of
mirror. Kind of ridculous if you ask me with all the technology
that's out there. Does anyone know of anybody who does cut mirror
and get it to stick on the mirror frame? Thanks.
