The mirror mount consists of three components: the metal rod, the plastic base, and the mirror holder. The mirror holder is not open source and is a commercial kinematic mirror mount from Thor Labs, the [http://www.thorlabs.com/thorProduct.cfm?partNumber=KM100 KM100]. It is attached to the metal rod through an open source piece of hardware which is a piece that has a hole and set screw for the metal rod and a hole for a screw and washer to attach to the mirror holder. The wide plastic base gives the whole setup stability and flexible placement.
