    Ha-Ha!
    We have seen in the past a sticky thread about the best way to remove reflectors that went on for too long.
    Got a 35 year old bike here that the fork reflectors have fallen off and I'd like to fix em back on in a professional looking way.
    They were originally fixed to the fork legs with a sort of white double sided sticky card/tape. This stuff has died and perished but still have the reflectors with plastic chrome surround.
    Anyone know of a good product to replicate the original backing?. Don't reckon gluing the reflectors straight onto fork leg would work without a suitable background.

    Why FC, why?
    Double sided adhesive tapes if you really must, Bunnings have some.
    I can feel a long thread starting up!

    Pop into Bunnings and get some double sided foam in the glue asile.  Its just doublesided foam tape and they all seem to go brittle after a while - the key to a solid join is to make sure both surfaces are spotlessly clean - ie isoprop clean.
