Finished product. I printed it on Avery adhesive back paper decal material. This might have been what GM used in 1977. Life expectancy about 6 months.. LOL

Maybe a year in a controlled environment, lol. Looks like you did a nice job especially considering what you had to use for a reference.

Nice detail!
|
Thank you!
|
Nicely done!

Nice Job!

I tweaked the dimensions of the decal, and it fits much closer to the factory photo:

Glad I could Help !

So you no longer could use a pic of the one in my Can Am?

I'm all set with that decal..However, if you have a chance, could you please look at your master cylinder for the very small two letter code stamped on the foward machined boss where the brake line is threaded into. Thank you.

6 349 is the Julian date code (349th day of 1976, correct for a 1977 model). DD is the code that should be on the broadcast sheet. |

Revisited this project. Many hours went into the size, and fonts. Perfected the process as these are laminated and adhesive backed:

With the good printers and label materials available today, it might be better to DIY some of these labels rather than have them commercially made and GM licensed.
