I've just restored two Suffolk Colts. During the process I peeled off the dreadful  manufacturers sticker from the engine cowels. They were awful!. My problem now is, how do I replace them?

Is such a thing available?

The original decals have never stuck me as dreadful but ......

Have a look on the well known auction site under "vintage Suffolk " . There's a chap in Australia who produces what I consider to be quite acceptable decals at a reasonable price and delivers them quicker than some UK suppliers. I've not seen him offer the engine data decals but it may be worth asking.

No connection other than being a satisfied customer.

I may have been a bit misleading with my post. I meant the SIF model identification plate/sticker on the engine cowel. They were illegible and tatty.

Yes, what I referred to as the engine data plate. The "modern" self adhesive ones can be tatty and look wrong when new paint has been applied around them. 

Find an older engine cowl with the brass based plate  - they can be removed for painting the cowl and effectively touched up with a black felt tip.
