ddaenen1 278 Posted October 14, 2013 All, in my quest to get the original sponsor decals for my original Avante restauration, i am exploring all options. In light of that, i am looking for the correct dimensions of the "Bel Ray" blue/white sponsor decal. Apart from the Avante, i have seen it on the Rough Rider, Super Champ, Sand Rover and Frog. If you own one of these models, could you please measure the size (Width, Height) of the "Bel Ray" decal,preferably in millimeters and post it in this thread so i can narrow down my search? Many thanks, Dominique Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kontemax 1725 Posted October 14, 2013 Heigth 21mm Width 24.5 mm This is an accurate measurement done with a caliber on my vintage Avante. Max 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ddaenen1 278 Posted October 14, 2013 Excellent. Many thanks Max. If i now have the dimensions of the other models, i hope there is one with the same size and i know which one i can use as an alternative. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ddaenen1 278 Posted October 15, 2013 I told the OP that in a PM . you can lead a horse to water but you can't force it to drink ! Yes, i have seen them but the thing is that the rough rider decals, Sand Scorcher 1 decals and Frog decals all have the "Bel Ray" and the "jackman wheels" decals on them so if for one of those the "Bel Ray" decal is of the same size, then obviously i would want to buy one of those to have the 2 remaining sponsor decals in one hit. Does it make sense now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kontemax 1725 Posted October 15, 2013 It has sense and non sense at the same time. I perfectly understand why you need these original decals to complete your Avante but I would like to say a couple of things: 1st - If you find the decals (Frog, Scorcher or whatever you will find) is not sure that the dimensions are the same. 2nd - Even if the dimensions are the same... will you find these decal sheets? 3th - If you find these decal sheets and the dimensions are correct, how much money you will spend to buy them? Considering these decals older and rarer than Avante one has it a sense ruining them cutting away a couple of sponsors? This is just a consideration and a opinion.

SteveU30 1011 Posted October 16, 2013 If you're after 2 different decals off different sheets it may be worth messaging screenprintdigital to see if they can print the decals you want on one sheet. They already have the designs, would just mean them copying and pasting them onto 1 custom sheet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'am thinking of having them do a sheet of vintage surf decals for me just based on images I will e-mail to them . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ddaenen1 278 Posted October 16, 2013 I have emailed them. I haven't seen the "jackman wheels" decal on their site but it will not hurt to ask anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
