    That can be taken wrong also, now that I think about it. instead of placing the tape so the shine side is up in the gun, place the tape so the tape removeable strip is up. Hope this makes more sense.

    I understand what you are saying, BUT it wont work the letters are still back ward it is just pointing out on the sticky side instead of the finish side, Believe me I have some of those sitting around the office They MUST emboss in reverse. I guess if you wanted your HIN to stick outward it would work, make it kinda easy for altering, Thanks for all the input. JC

    To get you started try, www.freemansupply.com/catalog/9_FR_Hardware_Final.pdf
    You can get any size or style you want with or without holders, mirror image or not. Call some of the people who supply the foundry business and pattern shops. I am out of this for many years and don’t have my old rolodex but you can search the internet and talk to the distributors to find what you want. By the way, in the pattern business they call it reverse pattern letters or core letters not mirror image letters. When you search the internet keep that in mind.
