I'm rebuilding my speedo (Panel '67) and want to renew green foils on flash indicator lights.

Where to find suitable foil?

art supply store or hobby/craft store. you can buy a large sheet (read as: lifetime supply for you and all your friends) for what WW sells a handful for.

At theatre/movie lighting supply places they used to give out free sample packs for lighting gels- they work great and last forever.

I used the little poker chips that come in the "Travel Poker" sets at the gas station. They're about 1/2" in diameter and cast the perfect colors. As an added bonus, you get enough of them in the kit to do LOTS of speedos.
