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??

Cheers Dan.

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

cheers B

Not if you put the 12th spoke in the centre of the decal

Dan, this an original stamped version matey. Hope this will help with the positioning of the decals

snav69 · « **Reply #13 on:** March 10, 2012, 07:58 PM »

Hmmmm every 12 spokes i see

Retrodan72 · « **Reply #14 on:** March 10, 2012, 08:06 PM »

Terry mate, cheers for that, it's gonna be a massive help.

I was gonna start with centralising one across the valve hole.

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #15 on:** March 10, 2012, 08:11 PM »

just use the string

still think they look cool with the decal over the valve

Adam's NOS Z rims are stamped over the valve hole Dan

I think it was probably a case of stamp em anywhere - because they didn't realise we'd all be anal bastards 30 years on

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.

Mine are in the same position as Terry's.
