    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

    Thanks Guy.

    unfortunately no-one is very cooperative in any of the above, wont sell parts and won’t give leads 🙄 🙄
