I’m sure it’s the same glass. To be certain, can you post it to me please or even just draw around it on a piece of paper and post that?
John,I just went to pm you for an address and noticed that your location states Southampton. I’m at Langstone near Portsmouth and work in Cosham. Do you venture that way, maybe we could meet up and you can take the mirror away with you for measuring?
If you drop in, I can compare it there and then while you wait. Will take 30seconds!

That reminds me Chris.
If you need any powder coating done - trestans in Southampton.

I'll take one as well. Mine hasn't failed yet but it sounds like it's better to replace it before it actually fails.

Just to keep you guys up to date...

I’m going to visit John sometime next week to confirm the correct size.
Then I’ll create a group buy thread in the appropriate forum letting everyone know the target numbers and prices.

People currently on the list...

There were a few more people showing interest but haven’t confirmed. If you would like to confirm now then that would secure your place on the list before I put in to the wider forum community. 😉

My replacement is currently in good order - but I also agree, it's when, not if, these go. So if the group buy gets everyone a little discount, I'm in.

P.S. @Chris - do you have a sister called Liz that used to sail sometimes?
If you do - then I do remember you from "back in the day" and it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance again
