I'm after some black/clear or black/translucent engraving sheet (ideally 1.6mm) to make a couple of custom speedo dials - does anyone know of a source please?

Could this be what you need https://www.engraving-supplies.co.uk/acrylic-sheets/troglass-colour-gloss/filter/colour_group_top_layer/black/is_indoor/1.html ?

The minimum they do is 606x606mm and it is 3mm thick.

https://www.908ltd.co.uk/shop/reverse-laser-engraving-laminate is another which seems better at 1.5mm thick and £19 a half sheet (plus VAT and delivery of course)

Thanks for those leads. It's not clear exactly what the TroGlass stuff is from how their description reads to me, might give them a ring tomorrow to clarify. Anyway the stuff from 908ltd looks more suitable as well as being more wallet friendly :joyous: The other solution I suppose is to get some translucent white sheet, spray with matt black paint and engrave through that - though getting the right type of paint + primer could be a job in itself I suspect.

Seems a good price at 980ltd, but the delivery charge of £11.50 is a bit steep!
