Broken Pentax Beam Splitter

A few days ago, I had a most unfortunate accident. I dropped my camera
bag, with my camera and Pentax beam splitter in it. It must have
landed exactly wrong, because one of the front-surface mirrors
shattered. The case of the splitter isn't bent or dented in the least.

The broken mirror is 1.5" x 1.75" x 3/32".=20

Does anyone know where I can get a replacement for this mirror, and
how to get the mirror mounted in the splitter?  It is not apparent how
to open the case, and I don't want to damage it trying.

Edmund Scientific has some front surface mirrors, but they are not
quite the right size. They are too big, and I suspect it would be
difficult to cut a mirror down without damaging it.

Thanks for any help.
