Default Video projector light guide

30mm long 4 x 3.7mm internal bore light tunnel that is made of 4 pieces of
surface silvered 1mm glass slips. Goes between the high power lamp and the
first lens of the optics proper.
The silvering is half "burnt" ? off one and 1/4 burnt off the other 3. Any
reason why not to replace with some polished stainless steel 0.5mm sheet,
formed around square bar and packing, into a rectangular tunnel?
There is a 3 inch fan cooling the bulb and a 2 inch fan cooling this tunnel,
and upwind of both fans, also cooling the main ps.
