Hey there. I have one of the "Big hatch" Magnets not spoken for. How bout I call them "Universal" magnets (you gotta love spin).

Clears the script on big hatch buses. Works on early splitties/BDs too.

$62 + $10. Paypal only. Please PM me if you are interested.

BTW- I was hit with a %15 material cost increase. Hence the $7 increase. Sorry..but out of my control.

Hey I know it's been a while since this thread was added to but ....
I'd really like one of these magnetic "slow-moving-vehicle"signs for the back of my Puck trailer. Unfortunately it probably won't stick because the Puck is aluminum skinned (even though it does have tubular steel frame underneath). So, I'm wondering if something like this is available in a "static cling" version for the body or windows of the trailer. Or does somebody have a better idea? Thanks for your help folks.
Joe.

I'd like one of these for my 59.

my bus was sitting in the drive last Friday, when the Ice Cream truck came by. My son wanted something - so my wife went to the truck with him and the Ice Cream man said he needed one of your magnets..I told him to check out TS-

then again...maybe he was hitting on my wife?... :?

I bought one about 6 months back as a Christmas pressie for my Kombi 8)

I use it on long motorway journeys. The Kombi is a stock 30hp, and I don't like taking it much over 50mph. I'm usually the slowest thing on the road, I'd like to think it gives fellow road users a bit more of a warning to overtake. (Even though we have a 70 limit, most people in the UK think this is a MINIMUM speed :evil: )

Cheers Ollie =D>

Hey there Joe,

They do have static cling vinyl available but I am not sure I would trust it to anchor reflective vinyl. It is pretty heavy as far as vinyl goes and does not like to bend too much. The magnets are assembled on plain flat white magentic backing so the design could just be shipped as a decal. But, even that has its issues. You would have to get the install right on the first try. The reflective stuff is not forgiving at all.

Anyway, I can basically supply whatever you are looking for. Drop me a PM with your phone # and I will call and discuss (if you like).

Where can I pick up an allstate s/w (with reflector) for $8? please let me know (pm) :lol: .. Mounting that reflector triangle directly to the back of a bus would not look so good....... Barnabus, I love the mag, thanks!.

since i sold off the big hatch bus and got my hands on a small hatch bus, will the big hatch magnet work on the small hatch bus or be too big? has anyone tried this? otherwise, i will have to sell the big hatch magnet and hope Ollie has a small hatch magnet to sell...
