#1 Lucas 608 interior mirror

Post by Quattrofrank » Thu Jan 19, 2017 9:34 am

Hi

I have a Lucas 608 mirror that is in pretty good shape other than the mirror glas.
Since I have not been able to find anyone that can re-silver the glas I`m wondering if the replica mirror sold by various suppliers are usable as a spare part?
From the pictures it looks the same, but I`m not sure.
All the mirrors I can find on ebay etc is always "hazy" and usually need re-silvering anyways

No, because the glass i tapered so its not just a matter of fitting av replacement mirror.
Thats why I suspect the replica mirror (not made by lucas) is differend as well.

That's a bugger; I have a guy down the road who did mine for $50.
