Hi

[Mykie916]

Hi everyone, should be racing with you this year (be nice :D )

Quick technical question, before I fabricate the bracket below from ally, is my template exactly what is required to bolt down front of tank ? I've done it this way so I can still lift tank after undoing 1 bolt

Booking ACU test for 2nd march, all being well looking forward to meeting you all,

Mykal

Ok, where do the actual numbers come from, I.e do I go and get them and are they a certain size font etc ? Cheers Myk

eBay or you can get them at tracks but you'll prob pay 5 times as much.
Get yourself some yellow spray, mask off a suitable area and apply sticky numbers when it's dry. (buying ready made numbers on backgrounds seems a good idea but they're a pain in the arse to put on curved surfaces)
Bit of petrol resistant lacquer over the top and bingo, happy scrutes!
