Re: Lucas mirror ? for Doc Watson

After having gone through the entire process of modifying one of the mirrors. It's quite simple really. It just requires a bit of finesse. I would urge you not to use a torch Doc. The tabs can be very carefully worked open on one side and the plate can be "slid" out from under the two on the other side. Once the plate is removed, gently open up the other two tabs just a bit to allow easier reassembly. The mirror I have (courtesy of Steve C) was already worked over once by someone less than careful and I was still successful. Just work the tabs juuuuust enuf to allow the plate to clear on one side.
