jroch said:So I have the idea of cutting "digital style" numbers that are used in North America : I assume that it is much easier. So I have a few questions about those type of numbers we don't often see over here :
Are they legal all over the world ?
Does anybody have a template / measurements of a kind for this type of numbers ? Where can I find them ?
Can I use them for the "national authority" letters as well (FRA in our case) ?

For an extra $20USD, I have the retail shop put on the numbers and the country code.

It seems completely stupid to have a problem with those numbers. If you are using Euro style, and your last number is a 7, it will be a different distance from the top to the leach and from the bottom to the leach!! Boy, a Euro 4 would be a real issue too - do you use the top and bottom of the 4, or the tail of the 4??!! Paul Millsom hopefully found something better to do with his time!Right, the problem is that the "8"s are slanted so they are not the same distance from the leach top and bottom.
