Bit O/T, but the heaters for the mirrors on both mine have failed and
are NLA - although plain glasses are still available. Anyone think of
a source for the elements only?


I am very surprised that they are NLA. Scrapyard?


Likely to be fooked too.

You could experiment with e.g. bits of nichrome wire epoxied to that
back.


Yes. The original is a sort of fibre pad with wide tracks on it - rather
like a PCB using something other than copper, and is just glued on. Seems
modern mirrors have the element built in like a heated rear window.
