ACS Z Rim Decal Positions??
« on: March 10, 2012, 11:23 AM »
Alright lads is there a correct/scientific way method of fitting these?? :-\

Where's best to place the 1st and what's the best way to ensure you get equal spacing between them?? :coolsmiley:

Cheers Dan. :daumenhoch:

I'm sure there is a easy way but my brain being so powerful some times it over heats and doesn't always take the east route

I got string and went round the outside of the rim - them divide the length into three using my massive brain and a calculator - mark the three points on the string - then with a pencil i mark the spots on the wheels and measured the distance between each length to make sure it was in the middle and spot on - them measure the middle of the decal of stencil and find the middle - then it's a case of using you eye to find the height it should go at

hope you understand how i did it  :D

cheers B  ;)

Bonus - just looked at mine on my DP and even after the cleaning/sanding/dyeing process they had last November, you can still see a feint image of where the original dye was.  :daumenhoch:

Mine are in the same position as Terry's. ;)
