I recently was given a sheet of 3M branded perforated heavy contact which I used on my CR250 aluminium tank. It worked well and lasted through a muddy meeting. Does anyone know someone who stocks this or something similar they have had success with?

Try Ebay, there is a lot of contacts etc on there. Peter.

Why do you want the perforated version Ken..that is for use on plastic tanks..so they can "breathe".....I just use the "solid" for alloy tanks...available here in WA in 45 x 30 sheets for about $15..Motorcycle Pitstop....also sell white and black...great for making numbers... :)

.great for making numbers...
That's so old school Brian....these days it's easier to go down to your local computer graphics joint (the signwriters of the new millenium ::)) and pick whatever font you want and they'll whip you up a set. So much neater and less time consuming than making your own.
Ditto the local moto shop for the thick plastic...you don't need the perforated stuff for an aluminium tank.

Good point. The solid makes sense for me. Thanks for all the info guys. I'll check these places out. 7 and a bit weeks to race time.........
