'51 - F1 Telescopic Side Mirrors

Folks,

I need to purchase a set of '51 - F1 Telescopic Side Mirrors (Reproduction or new). I would like them in chrome.

Most of the known vendors are currently only offering them in black.

Any ideas on a shop carrying a set in chrome?

Thanks.

Chrome telescoping mirrors (there was also a non telescoping version) were not offered as original.

I don't like the maintainance involved with painted mirrors. No matter what you do they will get nicked and start looking ugly. I build my own stainless mirror from parts I found at the local truck stop and auto parts store. I think they look period correct.
