I picked up a MAX RPM that had been left on the side of the road. It powers up, but most of the controls are not working.

One of the major issues that it has is that the Sensor Reflectors in both the gas peddles and the steering wheels are in really bad shape. In fact only one of the sensor reflectors was even salvageable. The rest had fallen off or had been damaged by coming into contact with the sensors. So I've been trying to make new ones.

I took a picture of one of the sensors and imported into Photoshop. My Photoshop skills are not all that great, but I was able to make something that somewhat resembled the original. The problem I had was trying to find a surface that I could print on. The original was on a silver reflective surface. The only thing similar I could find was a 3M adhesive reflective duct tape. I taped the aluminum tape to a 3X5 card and printed my image. It turned out nearly identical to the original.

Here are some pictures:
