I made my own numbers and letters. Buy magnetic sheets at a craft store (I bought rolled up sheets which unroll to a size of 24 x 12 inches), print large numbers and letters from your computer as templates, tape the printout to the magnetic sheet and cut along the lines with a utility knife or a box cutter. After cutting, spray paint them to the desired color.

Click here to see what they look like.

I went to Home Depot and got the magnetic covers for household a/c or heater ducts. Cut out a number from each cover. Cheap and easy to find.

Those are nice. You'd still have to make the class letters though. That's not too hard though.

I just like having dozens of number combinations because different clubs might not have a number available.

I got mine from www.squierdesign.com but if I did it again would get the die cut ones from www.soloperformance.com Also, there's a couple of people on the www.solo2.com boards that make them.


edit: in case you want to see what mine look like.

He's a friend of mine; if you asked him he could add them on there no problem.

Yeah, he probably types up the requested numbers on word. Shouldn't be too hard for him to type in letters and even adjust font size.
