Electronic Speedo Magnets
One or two of my magnets have fallen off despite plenty of epoxy. Mistake was to remove the tape that I had put on for added security but decided I
didn't need
Replacements from Europa are £5.00 each so I was thinking what else could I use.
Would fridge magnets do as I could raid my daughters fridge magnet making set and cut them up.
Or any other ideas?

You could try contacting ETB for some replacement magnets - depending of course on what type of gauges you have.

Maplins sell some small powerfull magnets that may be suitable, i think fridge magnets may be to weak.

I'd try ETB too, I have found them very helpful and knowledgeable. Don't know what they would charge though.

I ordered some from ETB a while ago, they were something like 1 quid each so I got plenty for a fiver (in case I lose it in the future), they asked me
to send a stamped envelope together with a 5 note, basically the order was too cheap to do bank transfers or anything like that. So we decided that
sending coins wasn't good, and I went for the "lots of magnets" option.
Cheers,
Alex

Maplins or Farnell.
Any magnet will do.
Don't go to ETB or the likes or you will get stung.
