Need recommendations for replacement ground glass

Hi all, the inevitable happened. In a fit of butter fingers, I dropped the ground glass of my Sinar X while trying to change orientation of the film back. And of course it broke. I am seeking recommendations on replacements. I know I can get a used Sinar ground glass, but I am looking at less expensive alternatives...like the one offered by FotoHigh (Chinese maker) or the one offered by Raphael (lenslover) on Ebay. The Chinese glass has markings for various formats including what I think are the assymetrical tilt lines for the Sinar. But Raphael's ground glass does not come with any markings. Raphael is also the maker of the 8x10 Fasquel camera. Any one tried these before? Appreciate your views. Thanks.

Hello Peter,

I have a spare never used one from Sinar in it's original bubble pack wrapping.

Interested?

Ouch, ground glasses are fragile, but usually no problem with field cameras always held in landscape orientation. I now appreciate the orientation change buttons on Fuji GX680 and Mamiya RZ (more)……
