Does anyone have a picture of the position of the tranfer lettering on a long range (8 pint) fuel tank.
Restoring a poor tank and would like to get them in the correct position

I assume it is the Century tank?

A tank similar to this one. The extra long range. This one is on a century. The one needing a repaint is on a silver century plus. with a clutch

Well, haven't you already got the picture of the position?
The large logo of British Seagull always goes along the top outside edge.

The picture is of the tank is the tank on my century longshaft. (restored by me) I do not think they are correct and would like to get at least one right.

RBT -Thanks for those. As HID does not know I have this one and I will probably get away with it having a clutch ---- painting the tank Post Office red may not be a good idea.

Hey while were on the subject.
Could someone confirm if this was the correct transfer for a model LS in the 1956/57 era?
1:12 makes me think not. as mine is 1:10.
Edit: OK i just saw it is from the news page. Is this transfer available from John?
I'm jealous i cant make it to the Flock today. but wit a dud coil and no boat, what can one expect:D
