    Red border engine stickers

    Whois the go to source for red border engine decals? I sent my originals to Manual C. So he could make them. He seems to have dropped off the radar. I have some of the carborn?? Stickers but they leave a lot to be desired in terms of material and fonts

    Take a look at skaraborgsflyg.com. I found these to have the correct font for my 73. They are prints on vinyl though instead of foil. This has the right shine but is a bit thinner than the foil. Maybe I should have added some backing material. Overall, I’m pretty happy with them.

    Manuel reached out to me after seeing my post. My emails were ending up in his spam folder.

    He is working on some new material tests. Challenge is to get the correct gold anodizing on the aluminum. I had the artwork done with correct fonts etc. which Manuel further improved upon. Goal is to have stickers with the correct material, fonts and colors.

    I, too, am looking for reproduced original foil-based engine stickers for my 71T. Who is the best in the business? Contact info, please.

    Hi JK, the challenge is not the anodizing, that's solved, both tones, the originals have a very smooth finish, that's the issue, getting there.

    Hi Stephen, some things got in the way. I just finished the last tests and have the correct finish 90%, I'll post after I receive some equipment I bought for this later in the month. The results are very promising.
