Magnetic front plate - QUESTION??

I understand the process outlined here:

<a href="http://home.earthlink.net/%7Etsitmc/audittinvisiblelicenseplatemount/">Magnetic Front Plate</a>

and I have the site to get the #08 and #12 magnets:

<a href="http://www.gaussboys.com/">Magnet Site</a>

BUT, which exact magnets are the ones to use.. I searched and looked up and down the site for something that says #08 and #12 but didnt find anything...

Can someone please point out the correct magnets to use, or reccommended magnets to use. Thanks a lot

Since I did this about three years ago now . . .

. . . looks like they've changed their item coding. On the disc magnet page they're the 25.0mm discs. I used one set on the inside of the plate valence cover and doubled the set on the OEM plate mount - it has recessed pockets that the magnets fit in just right. The 25.0mmX6.0mm on the plate (can be doubled) and 25.0mmX3.0mm on the valence. Looks like they've added epoxy coated magnets and those would be a better bet than coating nickel ones yourself, but they're in a different dim but could still work.<ul><li><a href="http://www.gaussboys.com/magnets/discs/">Gaussboys</a></li></ul>

Thanks, these magnets are freakin strong... I cant seem to find >>

a plastic mounting bracket like the one in the picture, nor a stainless steal frame in any stores.

Ive been to a few car part stores and walmart, meijers, target all those places..

Ill be looking online, but i like that mounting bracket used in the picture in my original post
