Post by: watts on 16 Mar, 2023, 07:41
I have a tank top decal for my A65T where should it be put? I hope I attached an image.
Thank you

What year is the A65T? I'm not an expert on decals but couldn't find this one in the list of BSAOC decals I have in my possession?

It is a 1970 before it went OiF. I think it goes on LHS level slightly seatward of the fuel cap?  US Export 2 gallon tank.
I also have 1965 fuel tank but I think they has different decals? European tank 4 gallon.
Thank you

I can only find pics of A65L tank transfers which are adjacent to the filler cap and mounted transversely. If the tank has a central seam, it's actually hard to think of any other place for these tank transfers!

I agree, this is a pic of the 1965 one I think. Thank you.

Hi,
    There are locations for decals on BSAOC members area. In the area try "transfers" for a general written location and "BSA photograph archive" for a visual location.

In the archive see images ref P_00031 and P_000806 for tank top decals.


Best wishes...

Don't forget that decals were only applied to USA export machines  ;)

Hello

Thank you to everyone, I have not worked out how to reply individually!  Another challenge of modern life.

I will look at web page.
