Trailer Reflectors.

Post by jarndice »

Every Road Going Trailer just about anywhere in the World SHOULD carry two red triangular reflectors.
I have searched the WWW for 1/16 Triangular Reflectors and I came up empty,
E-Bay sells sheets of self adhesive Red reflex-------
So with a pair of SHARP scissors or a SHARP Craft knife and a Rule, Measure 8mm or 5/16in on each side and you have your reflectors. :thumbup:
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

That's a handy tip Shaun :thumbup:

But, what year/s did they start using them?

Hello jarndice,

I just stumbled across these this morning and remembered this post of yours. I don't think these are European spec., I think ours here in the States are a little different. I know nothing about the company, but by the time shipping was added (assuming they do ship overseas) it'll probably be pointless anyhow. They do come in 3 sizes of 1/16 scale though.

Regards,
Eric.

Of course, I'm assuming that you were talking about the slow moving vehicle placards? Or not?
