Size of pin stripes for '74 TC

Post by balmy » Sat Feb 21, 2009 5:55 am

I have just been looking for new pin stripes for my TC. After a quick look it looks like there is two types available.

( Both twin stripes )

Top 1mm
Bottem 3mm

OR

Top 3mm
Bottem 6mm

I am sure I am right but should it not be the thinner ones ( 1mm/3mm ) with the thicker stripe being the lower one when applied to the car??????

Can anyone confirm sizes ( want the car original looking )

Thanks

Hi,
I could be wrong, but I think the thicker stripes are the ones to go for. My earlier TC has one 3mm just below the windows, and i think that and a 1mm would be too thin along the centre of the car.

Hi Balmy,

Not sure about standard TC but Jubilee has 3mm (Bottom) and a 6mm (Top)
But Jubilee has the strip above door handles and along top of wing and around the boot lid where TC has them top middle of wing through TC badge and under door handles and not on boot - I think! :wink:
Early TC were brushed and not stickers I think.

Hi Paul and Balmy,
Could be the same as jubilee ones, they look the same. My early TC stripe is brushed on, I know, I brushed it on, as original!!!

Hi David, the stripe size you need is the thicker 3mm amd 6 mm ones, on the standard TC they have them the opposite way up to the Jubilee as well, with the thick stripe on the bottom :wink:
