Good luck with your quest Jonathon, I think you will have to import one.
I have tried this technique before using a small 8 x 6 inch bathroom mirror. I just leaned the mirror against the Obs wall while I sat on a bench looking downwards. Focus was hard to achieve and the astigmatism was woeful. One other thing is don't use too small a mirror or only one half of the binos will show your object, unless its dead centre of the mirror.
Given what I said about the astigmatism go for the best optical grade you can afford, you really need the mirror to be optically flat.
Cheers

P.S. I just noticed this was your first post, welcome to IIS Jonathon, let us know how you go with the project, it could help others wanting to do the same.
