One way to replace the mirror is to buy an old Polaroid camera, remove the mirror and cut it to fit your leicaflex. The mirror thickness is also important. I have seen details on how the best way to cut the mirror but forget where, sorry.

maybe you should contact Leica. somewhere on their site they have the adress of their service and parts departments... I tried to get curtains from them, but they either pointed me elsewhere or didn't reply.
can't hurt to try though. |

The Polaroid Pronto or One Step "Reflex" cameras are the ones to go for and can be bought very cheaply. Cut the mirror to size on the back using a new glass cutter.
