Does anyone where I can find commercial mirror cells under 10". I am specifically looking to support a 7" mirror, but may have to modify a cell for 8". Thanks, John Panaswich

John, why don't you build one yourself. Properly done in plywood of the right thickness and sealed against weather, plywood will make a completely adequate cell for a 7" mirror of any thickness or thinness. The web has all sorts of examples and several books also.
