Ian,
It depends on which type you’re looking for – the type that looks like the numbers on a calculator (segmented) or the newer type that look like normal numbers.
If it’s the newer type then your best bet would be to apply vinyl onto 1 or 2mm clear pvc sheet but if it’s the older flap type calculator numbers (MDDI) then the only way you’ll get some is to talk to someone like Hawes Signs ( http://www.hawes.co.uk ), XMO Strata ( http://www.xmostrata.com ) or Clovemead ( http://www.clovemead.co.uk ) – all of whom carry out a lot of work for the major petrol retailers in the UK so may have a supply of old parts.
My first call would probably be to Clovemead then XMO Strata as these firms primarily carry out maintenance & refurbishment works so are the most likely to either have what you’re looking for or be able to tell you where to get them.
Good Luck
Guy
