Check this out the size is right at .005 and 1/4" wide all you need to do is cut it round on the ends at the right size 7/16" length /// cheaper than 8.00 for 10 http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Mylar-body-armor-for-slot-cars-005-thickness-/191843527247?hash=item2caac3ea4f:g:Mc4AAOSwDNdV57vu Eric

Re: cut your own reeds
Are those adhesive? It looks like the backing says "adhesive".

Re: cut your own reeds
Look into overhead transparency film. Can get it in 8.5x11 sheets.
Was thinking about reel to reel leader tape, probably way too thin though (1.5 mil - 2 mil). Comes on a reel at 1/4", 1/2" 1"... widths.

Re: cut your own reeds
The stuff I have here is some NOS (from 1989) 3M CG 3300 that is made from polyethylene terephthalate (Mylar) and coated with a proprietary solution for laser printers. Its 4.25 mils. I've been cutting tape-pack rings out of it for my 8-track tapes (LOL). I end up with lots of scrap circles if anyone wants some.
Re: cut your own reeds
Use an old cricut machine with a version of makethecut (now hard to find) software and you can cut hundreds of reeds at one time.

I bought one of their new Cricut machines that works with their online based "Design Space". It seems to work alright, don't need to pay any subscription fees or anything. There's much better machines out there, bought it on Black Friday so I got it for a good price.
