    To be fair, I'm after the full size pdf file.

    Ok I've had a play with some software and have created a decent printable pdf, I think. Pdf attached if anyone wants to see it and the jpeg is taken from it. The green lines are cut lines - optional for the mount holes. Background is white vinyl but could be printed any colour. I've no idea of the original size but it can be any size really. Is that what you're after?

  5. In the middle of the night
    Two dead men got up to fight
    Back to back they faced each other
    Drew there swords and shot each other.

  6. Found the full poem


    Ladies and gentleman skinny and scout
    I'll tell you a tale I know nothing about
    The admission is free so pay at the door
    Now pull out a chair and sit on the floor

    On one bright day in the middle of the night
    Two dead boys got up to fight
    Back to back they faced each other
    Drew their swords and shot each other

    The blind man came to see fair play
    The mute man came to shout hooray
    The deaf policeman heard the noise
    And came to stop those two dead boys

    He lived on the corner in the middle of the block
    In a two story house on a vacant lot
    A man with no legs came walking by
    And kicked the lawman in his thigh

    He crashed through a wall without making a sound
    Into a dry creek bed and suddenly drowned
    A long black hearse came to cart him away
    But he ran for his life and is still gone today

    I watched from the corner of the table
    The only eyewitness to facts of my fable
    If you doubt my lies are true
    Just ask the blind man, he saw it too

    Could this be made as a decal type sticker as a sort of cover/renewal of an old badge Or just stuck over a ali disc of the appropriate size?

    Yes that's what it is really. I print on to a self adhesive vinyl. So it's a flat vinyl sticker although if someone wanted I can turn it into a resin dome sticker.

    I could measure the one on my van when I’m there. How much is a 50 metre roll?

    About £120. If there were enough interest, I'll get some in.

    Edit: Sorry just realised I'd need white ink to go behind all the colours with clear vinyl and my machine isn't set up for it. The colours wouldn't be solid, they'd be wishy-washy and see through.
