Supersprints usually allocate you a number on the day. Stick it on a window (usually) & it won't damage anything.

Blue triangles - you can either go buy one from somewhere like revolution racegear or do what I did & trundle down to your local sign shop & ask for an offcut of blue sticker stuff. Either that or go for the classy insulation tape. Noice.

thanks mate - yep - they have allocated me a number - but wasnt sure if i get the sticker made up myself or they give it to me on the day (bathurst super sprint)

and your from hornsby arent you? which place did you go to?

(i am thinking of the right member yeah??)

I used to make the number up on A4 (in Word), then enlarge it on the photocopier to A3.

3M "Invisible" tape sticks it cleanly to the doors. Only potential problem is if it rains - which, unfortunately, isn't such a major threat ATM.

Now I have a set of proper numbers on a magnetic square. Still use 3M to stick down the leading edges.

As for battery triangle, blue electrical tape works wonders and doesn't stick so hard that you can't pull it off cleanly.

I made the numbers for my car out of white contact. I used a scalpal to cut them out.

i use a magnetic number. tape the top edge and leading edge, sometimes do all 4 edges if i'm not in a hurry. i've got a magnetic blue triangle too but it dont work on the GTR (alloy bonnet! d'oh) but it's fine on the GTST etc. worth the investment. just if you do use the mag ones be sure to tape them down as nothing looks stupidier than seeing some clown nail it on the straight only to have his number fly (and they really fly) off at 210kph. even less funny if you are driving behind and it lands on your windscreen.

I make the numbers up in word too, but just leave them on A4 size. I use clear contact to stick the numbers on the doors. no problem even if it rains.

cheers Harry,

I'll be doing that

I've also used race tape for numbers, fine as long as you take it off that day and dont leave ti on for a while.

Also blue electrical tape makes a great triangle.

But the easiest way is to buy triangle and numbers from Race and Rally in Greenacre.

Heh, that thick silver PVC tape they call 100mp/h tape for a reason....

Well, I forgot about this thread!

I ended up using A4 paper with contact - worked well and didnt leave any marks!

I'll be doing that again!
