I am looking for a precise, preferably metal or tough plastic narrow width adhesive ruler/tape/measure indicator that I can stick on my front extension and base of wooden camera. Anyone have a source for where they can be bought? A link or point to a reference would be great!

Forensic supply dealers. Possibly also medical supply dealers.

I printed one that I found online. I put double stick tape on the back and then taped it to my camera.

I'm thinking sewing style measuring tapes. They roll up, don't scratch anything and last a while.

I already keep 5 or 7 steel tapes all over my loft and seldom can find one.

I measure a lot of things...

I've been looking for one that is black with white lettering. Anyone run across one in their searches let me know please.

Kirk I just noticed the scales Mcmaster has are the opposite of what you are looking for—white with black lettering, not black with white.

I use these on my table saw, ebay item #371122312933 you must have something similar in the US. They do not last as long as the metal versions but I just replace them every couple of years but they do have both metric & imperial scales. The metallic ones are available from KREG ebay item #121167485637 and they can be bought reading left to right or right to left and either metric or imperial.
