Bit of a strange one here.

Had a chap in the other day who is refurbishing his McConnel PA59e and wants the safety stickers made up for it, most of them are easy but some of the more important ones were wrecked and I have no idea what is on them.

So if any of you on here have one (or access to) of their power arms in decent nick I am asking if you can snap a few nice clear shots of these stickers, especially so I know what they say and can make out the illustrations enough to reproduce.

McConnel themself are no use as they just want me to buy the stickers from them, and when I asked them for a price they didnt even bother.

Have attached a pic that shows which ones I really need.

Cheers for any help!

[alarm mode]

Guy aquires McConnel Power Arm from dodgy source, but in scratched recogniseable condition. Strips it down then repaints it to retore as excellent original condition. Original stickers are needed to carry off the deception, but knowing that the manufacturer will probably be on the look out for a recently reported stolen itme, this is not an option so stickers will have to be replicated elswhere.

laugh Well that's how it looks to me.

Hi,

Can't help with what's on the stickers, but if you want them knocked up on vinyl (same as van signwriting), let me know and I'll whack them through the printer for you.

Just need a good, clear JPG or other design and the exact sizes (it cuts to 1/100th of a mm) for the sticker.

Got loads of ink and vinyl, so gratis if you want.

pm me if you're interested.

I will ask on there too but is this an actual recommendation or just the first forum you found via google?

I have not acctually, they are fairly specific to the machine I would have thought and I don't really want to buy them, I want to make them. Ideally I would like the artwork but McConnel wont give it to me so hoping to re-create via images.

Ah, there goes my freeby offer!

We don't do signwriting or anything, but I have a versacamm in the office for other stuff we do relative to our other business.

I have a stack of vinyl in loads of colours, and only ever use white vinyl and black/yellow ink, so have loads of spare red/blue.

Good luck finding the designs!

I`d imagine that at least one sticker would advise against Emsman being allowed to either operate it or be anywhere near it.

Farming forum was helpful advice, not the first forum that I found! If you ask nicely you stand a good chance of getting an answer.

I see that you have found your way over ;-) ..... Good Luck
