Might want to PM 71 super (Harold), I believe he had some of these made up a while back.

if he doesn't ask any - might ask chipflyer, he makes great, correct stickers. not sure he has THAT one, but he might know how to make one/find one, etc.

I have what I hope is enough to take and have reproduced. I believe the ones Harold had were different. I talked about having some made but not sure where the sticker is now. But,I'll remember you if I ever get it done.

Thanks for suggestions. SpK is correct - those that Harold reproduced are different. Chip or maybe Lockdoc are two characters that could probably pull of a good repro. Until these guys or SpK have some done up I'll keep on the lookout. Seems like enough of a market exists to justify at least one run of these. I'm sure they're real tough to peel off intact.

Do you have the exact measurements of the sticker?

I've never been successful removing them, even with a fresh razor blade and a lot of patience.

Blow dryer works well.

Sorry I don't but maybe someone can chime in? If you could make these Leon I'd be very grateful.

I've tried that in conjunction with a razor, and adhesive remover, and they still came apart. All the ones I have found are thin and brittle.

I just measured mine:
Outside dimensions (silver border): 2.0" x 1.7"
Inside dimensions (black rectangle): 1.8125" x 0.570"

It is in pretty decent shape, I can take photos if it will help.

Thanks Andrew. I'll send you a PM with my e-Mail address if you can send me one that is not sized down.

The hardest part may be finding a font that will work... That is pretty heavy and bold. It would also have to be a "hollow" font.

Thanks HotRod. I found a couple of promising ones, but the hollow ones are few and far between...

Got one!! Big thanks to FirstOwner69 (Jim) who was gracious enough to think of me when he found one and sent it for free! I'm going to look into having these reproduced. Stay tuned....

Re: Anyone have a used or new MAIN AUX. decal?
 
I had a batch reproduced and they look really nice. Trying to upload pics now. If interested please respond only in this thread here. Thanks: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...=1#post6181028
