Hello:
The subject line pretty much says it. What's the thickness of the old Coulter 17.5" mirrors? I've been tossing around the idea of using voice coil actuators to push/pull a cheap old mirror into a good figure. If it's thin enough, one of those older Coulter mirrors would be a good test subject.

Cheers
