lil' johnny--
Bought silk screen thermal masters from an art supply store. Enough of the old numbers were left on one spring so that I could trace them, then scanned the tracing into the computer and matched the font as best I could with Freehand (a drawing program). Printed to laser printer, then used an old Thermofax copy machine to make the silk screen master from the printout. Then taped the silk screen to the spring and brushed on the yellow paint. Although it's a lot of steps, it's a very simple process. I have a photo but don't know how to post it. Also don't have your e-mail. The quality of the silkscreen is perfect for something like a spring (also did bumper brackets), but I think it would be tough to do a really clean job on a valve cover.
