   accuracy. I have checked the

   one-inch-square component, which is unfortunately too much for this particular   
   project. Is anyone able to recommend a more economic option? Ideally, I am   
   looking for a cost of <    
   $100 per roof mirror. Are they by chance a standard component in any existing   
   mass-produced products?

   In the past I got some surplus optics from Anchor optics... but they got    
   bought by Edmunds and I think the prices went up.     
      
   Phil H. will mention the Surplus Shack.. or Shed.  I've never bought stuff   
   from them.
