I am hoping someon will report the width of the main longitudinal stripe on a 68 GTS as well as the width of the smaller stripes (and the gap between stripes).

My guess is the larger stripe is 1.25 inches and the smaller stripes may be .25 inch with a .25 inch gap seperating them from the wide stripe?

Thanks

I had posted the info sometime in the last year or so, I will see if I can find it again. You do know that the stripe is not straight across the trunk, it comes to a point in the middle?


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.

Rhino, I am referring to the stripe down the entire side on some 68 GTS darts, not a bumble bee stripe. It looks like a racing spripe with one wide stripe and two smaller pinstripes running parallel.

thanks

OK, I misread your post, I often get longitudinal and transverse stripe mixed up. I will see if I have a new stripe in a box, I know I used to...

I believe its a 1" stripe, .25" gap, .25" stripe

But don't quote me on that. I asked the same question a couple years ago before I decided to go with the BB-stripe.
I think that's the correct answer.
