Might be worth checking out a large Sunday market/car boot sale. I know the one local to me does them, also have you thought of an agricultural suppliers as they use them on tractors.

Points of note:

"The background surface should be reflex-reflecting but the characters must not"

and

(3) This paragraph requires the plate to be fixed—

(a)vertically or, where that is not reasonably practicable, in a position as close to the vertical as is reasonably practicable,

These guys do them although they are sold as 'show plates'. IIRC they were in the £12 range last time I bought one.

I've had one on the front of the 'go-kart' (N reg Mk1 MX5 1800) on the bonnet for the last five years and was doing something around 500 miles a week in it, in and around the Oxford/Gloucester/Bristol/Bath area until I got the truck with no problems or interest from the cops. No problems at mot time with them on either.

This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.
