Thanks everyone for following up. I didn't personally feel that we had flogged
this to death until we had some sort of satisfactory conclusion so to
summarize:
1. You can buy said convex mirror as part of a pair (Talbot) for around $300,
alu or chromed brass and very nice they look too.

2. There is evidence that a stained glass shop may be able to grind a mirror
to size
3. Dick says he has managed to produce a convex mirror of the right size at
home (would like to hear more about that)
4. Aaron has researched a friend that will cut a convex mirror to size for
$25.00 plus shipping.
I think that is a pretty good list of four viable options to this common
problem.

Subject: [6pack] Source for 4" Convex Mirror
Hi List,
I will keep this short.? I asked my friend who works at a local glass shop if
he could come up with a 4" convex mirror and in about 1.5 hours he stopped by
and dropped one off on my desk.? He sourced a mirror that was larger than
necessary and cut it with a circle cutter.? He told me that he cut it on
cardboard and that was the secret to cutting it without it breaking.? If
anyone is having trouble finding such a mirror for their car and is interested
in buying one the cost would be $25 plus shipping.? That reflects the cost of
the mirror that he has to cut from.? I suspect that if you needed a mirror in
a slightly different diameter he could probably cut it your specifications.?
NFI, he is just a really nice guy trying to help out the Triumph community at
my request.
If you are interested please contact me off list and I will give you the
information on how to get in touch with him.? Sorry to initiate another post
on this topic but I thought it might interest someone.
Aaron
