Have you tried PMD, www.Gardentrucking.com? Ric has something that he sells for use on trailers, that may fit the need that you have.

Good luck.

The law is it needs to be at least 50 % of the length and all the way across the back . I always run it all the way down the side to me it looks better that way. You can start at the front and space it out as long as it ends at the rear and covers 50% of the side ! Hope this helps

If you can understand government-eeeeeeeeeeeeeez this is what I found on reflective tape, http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/rules-regulations/administration/fmcsr/fmcsrruletext.aspx?reg=393.13 Don't know if this will answer Diddys truckings question?

Hey Diddy, I'm in the same boat, I don't understand the law's on your side of the pond at all? Yah, I get to read about them on Big Lorry Blog .com
