I am now nearing the end of the restoration of an A Rapide but am unable to find details of the size of the painted 'panels' (i.e. on which the HRD transfers are applied) on the sides of the stainless steel tank.
My painter needs to know the length and depth of the panels and their positioning from the front edge of the tank. The radius of the curve of the rear edge of the panel (or a measurement of by how much the top and bottom 'points' of the rear curve project beyond the middle) would be useful too.
We also need to know the width of the gold lines which surround the panels and of the four gold lines on the top of the tank.
I would be very grateful to owners of Series A machines if they could spare the time to measure the tank of their bike and post the details required.
