I don't agree with that, or maybe there is slight variation with age. The stripes are either one eighth inch or one quarter inch not metric. Also no brown above the top gold stripe. I can send you an old close up photo of the stripe from a 1986 if you give me an email address by pm.

Ok I can see your photo now, that is not the same as others I can see in Google Images. I did visit the factory about 15 years back. At the time you could still buy the edge stripe which consisted of gold/brown/gold three eighths of an inch wide in total and it was the gold that was at the edge. They did say there was some variation though, for example the outer gold strip could be a quarter of an inch rather than an eighth.

A while back i gave the info to someone (Jim Painter? ) who was restoring a van and he painted the stripes on, it looked brilliant.

Does this help ?

If it does, can you download it and let me know, then I can release the space on my storage - no attachments allowed in General Chat

Of course if this was moved to bodywork, I could upload it into the thread
