UVIRA ((541) 474-5050) is definitely the place to take your original reflectors. If your reflectors are not original the older repros had a reputation of being the wrong shape. This leaves the best solution to be to buy the reflectors from Bratton's. They invested the tooling to make the correct shape reflectors and I don't think they are wholesaling them to the other suppliers. To make things better they have the aluminum plating. Aluminum may sound cheap but this is the surface they use in medical mirrors and spacecraft mirrors, not a place to cut corners.
