Default Decal location

My wife returned from another trip to the US the other day. In the box of goodies she found in her hotel room is a set of the decals from Finish Line. The question I have, and I am sure I will get a couple of ideas from you guys, is what is the lay out used?

I recently asked the same question, There is no "set" way to mount them.
But in the kit from finishline mine had an instruction sheet, I used this as a general layout, But moved 1 or 2 to please the eye.
1 thing that was pointed out to me is the round red sticker with E is to advise battery location, I mounted mine where the Finishline picture showed.
But it should be near your battery.


And here is a thread where question was asked.
Meatballs / Rondels / Decals

The 62 for me is my stepfathers old race number from his mini days.
62 is his birth date 6th Feb.

Boxhead, The E is for Extinguisher......

The blue Triangle is for the battery location and a blue triangle with a red lightning bolt through it is for the battery isolation switch. Just thought I would let you know, if you race at the Nationals you will need a blue triangle to pass scrutineering...... Yup I will be scrutineering again this year...

Sorry, you are correct, the E is for the Extiguisher location, I get it confused with battery as my isolater is beside the extinguisher.

Really doubting I will be at Nationals this year.

Too many other things happening.

I'm pretty sure it indicates the original Cobra Run Groups...or "Race class"....

AP ...stands for A Production

There was AP , BP , and CP

Cheers,

AC302

Wipe the area clean.

Use a mist sprayer - windex type bottle and spray a fine mist on the area.

Attach the decal/sticker wipe out all bubbles.

I use my fingers to get the smaller bubbles out.

Let them dry overnight before driving.

I generally check them the next day wiping out any new bubbles.

I have had them exposed to nearly 200k and they have not flown off.

If you notice an edge lifting take the decal/sticker off and wipe and re apply. An edge lifting will get air and rip the decal/sticker off even at low speed.

J. ring me if you have any problem.

Bernie
