I purchased the Farpoont 2 inch Super Collimation kit and unfortunately the triangles that came with it are poorly cut. I tried reaching out to Farpoint and they seemed eager and happy to help until I mentioned I was in Australia. They then started making excuses and saying that the triangles must have been damaged in transit (not sure how this would happen?) and that I need to pay full shipping for new triangles. Not only is this ridiculous but given current shipping times it will take weeks for me to get them using snail mail.

Does anyone know where I can purchase some of these triangles locally or from a supplier that I may be able to get them shipped from quicker?

Reflective tape from Bunnings, a hole punch and a pair of scissors.......

The Farpoint kit is designed to use the triangular spots to work effectively unfortunately. I have center donuts on my mirrors already and they don’t work well with the tools.

Reflective tape from Bunnings, a metal ruler and a scalpel blade to cut the triangles, a hole punch and...yeah what Matt already said

Cutting new ones is a great idea and much appreciated problem is I don’t know what dimensions the triangles are supposed to be because the ones I got do not make a suitable template to work off.
