It sure is. Aardvark charged me $40. In the meantime, I'm using dental floss to compress the cork and spring so I can silicone the mirror and gasket in. Once that's dry, I'll release the floss from the back hole of the housing and the spring will uncoil and the cork will push out against the mirror reducing vibration. Here are two pics. Chas will love the fact that I'm using dental floss in this project.
