Lee,

I wanted to do the same for my RAF bubble sextant, but came to the
conclusion that it was too expensive and too hard to find a suitable
contact. There is a do-it-yourself guide on the net, mainly for people
that build home telescopes I think, but it required a lot of effort and
sounded quite dangerous too!.

What I did was to go into my local glass shop (Perth) and get the guy to
cut me a new mirror at a cost of $5.
That doesn't answer your question, I know, but it might be a way out for
you too.

Regards
Steve
