Try this... http://www.osborn-reproduction.com/ I don't know if they have the exact stickers you're after, but they have many.

Guess I should search harder! I found one in perfect shape in a JY that I removed and reused. I got very lucky with that in MANY ways.
That looks like a great repop even with the correct part number!! I will b buying some..

I cant find the 89 serp belt routing decal...

Re: Repop or oem underhood decals?

Osborne has a lot of decals, but their online catalog/website is a bit hard to work with and it's been under construction since I found their website a few years ago. I would tend to think a person would probably have better results just calling them. I don't know, maybe they've got a printed catalog available? I would also wonder if there were enough interest if they could be convinced to repro the other various decals our cars use. Classic Industries used to list some of the various decals in the catalog, they might still, I haven't had a new CI catalog in years.

Re: Repop or oem underhood decals?

I ordered this decal from Osborne earlier this year. The repro is pretty accurate, but not exact. The corners of the factory sticker is rounded and his is squared off. I asked about additional stickers and he said that he doesn't have the demand for them. The cost to produce the ones he has outweighs what he sees in sales. He also stated that he prefers phone calls over the website orders and the website is very outdated.

Re: Repop or oem underhood decals?

I wish I could find the emissions sticker for my car, I didn't see any 5.7 stickers on his site for Firebirds.

Re: Repop or oem underhood decals?

All my original fan stickers don't have rounded edges? all my cars are 89 and up tho.
I have a NOS 89 5.7 emissions sticker, not 4sale tho!

Re: Repop or oem underhood decals?

If you read the homepage, it actually explains that the catalog(s)/website is in development, and it goes on to say that everything in the catalog is listed as not available. That's why I said you're better off to call them. Some websites take a little effort to sort through, and it really helps to actually read what's on the page rather then just jumping in blind.

I would tend to think that if a person really wanted a specific decal made, the best way to get it made would be to find a few like minded enthusiasts that need that decal, and then take that information to a manufacturer. Obviously it's not worth the setup to run off one decal for one person.

I've bought a few emissions decals from Osborn and they look pretty good. The fan sticker is good but not 100% accurate.

I bought a couple serpentine belt routing decals earlier in the year from my local GM dealer and they were still available.
