There's a few pieces of brass plate around here(1/8"). They came in with a mirror coating on one side. I'm not sure how you locate that particular kind of plate stock, but I don't believe it's uncommon. Great thing is that you don't have to worry about breaking glass at any point. And you could easily drill and tap it if needed. Or work hot steel around it to hold it in place without too much trouble.

Just a thought.

Edit: I just asked around here, it was order long ago, but it's chrome plated brass. No one can remember a price, but if it's the right material for the job....
