I've searched quite a bit and haven't found anything on the net or any vendors listing them so figured I'd ask here. Does anybody know where I can get replacement/repop stickers for a set of 912 Mann & Hummel air cleaners? Mine look okay but I'd like to refinish the air cleaners and replace the stickers afterwards. I'm talking about the black & white labels that are on the part that mounts to the carbs. Thanks for any help. Cool


EDIT: Thought about it and decided that decals was a poor choice of words. They're really more like stickers so I've edited the title and post to reflect that.

Take one to a sign shop that makes vinyl signs and they can make you some.

Talked to the guy, showed him my air cleaners. He said he can do it. We just need to get together sometime after he remembers to bring his hand-held scanner down to his shop. He's going to make 4 copies of each sticker so I'll have some spares. Price is unbelievably reasonable. Don't know that they'll be perfect but this is for my kit car so they'll probably be good enough. Mine are okay but the scans are going to need a lot of cleaning up. If anybody has any pics of good ones that they could post it might be helpful. Thanks! Cool

A friend of mine used to have a sign shop and he had one of those machines and he could do wonders with it. I'm glad you checked. You may want to get a few extras if they come out good and sell them here in the classifieds..

I thought about maybe selling them. I've never seen a really good original so I'm not sure what kind of finish they had. Matte maybe? Are the originals paper? Kinda' looks like it. The new ones are going to be vinyl. We didn't talk about what types of finishes he might have. Conversation was mainly about whether or not he could do it and trying to decipher all of the details that were hard to read on my originals. He did say that the material he uses has a several year warranty. Don't remember what it was though. Something like 7 years? 9 years?

Not trying to take anyones business......but go to an industrial decal printer....not a sign printer.
Vinyl is not the material you want. The warrnty depending on whose product is outdoor and ranges from 3-5 years .....mainly for UV exposure.

The original decals would have been a mylar (oriented polyester) or straight polyester.....screen printed or pad printed. The ability to print n that material is limited with inkjet systems. ....which is where the cheap price comes in.

Vinyl is not used for underhood decals on any automobile and never has been. It cannot handle the heat and shrinks. Ray

It makes sense. I'll have to do a lot more hunting to find somebody to do that kind of work. I live in the sticks. Probably someone at least 50 miles away. Possibly over 100. Looks like I have a bit of research to do. Very Happy Thanks for the info about the material. I really didn't think vinyl seemed very well suited to the application. Cool
