I found this in the Gallery here:

Here it is in black but someone put logos over it:

This is all I personally have so I don't know the exact dimensions

Thanks for finding that! Do you think the gas tank has the tire pressure info? Seems kinda odd, but as I can’t read what’s in my photo zi can’t really tell

I know the tire pressure debate has been covered here ad infinitum but I’ll never feel comfortable running my low profile tires at 17psi.

I got one from Lane Russell in the UK but they have moved to a different business and the range has narrowed. https://aircooledartifacts.com You might reach out to see if they still are making these

You could try another company in the UK who do custom jobs

John and I recently used these guys to get some vintage Shorrock decals and they have a huge range and are not very expensive

From which year did these stickers get placed on the tank?

Thanks guys for the artwork uploads and links, I've managed to get one on my tank now!

I took the photo modoc 333 posted and drew it up in a drawing programme and matched the fonts (as near as I could get them)

I have a water slide decal machine and printed out the artwork in opaque white and trimmed the paper tight to the edge

It's difficult to see the white image on the pale blue backing paper but once it's done you just dip in water until the decal starts to separate from the backing sheet

Once in place on the tank I use a soft brush to push out any air bubbles

When it was dry masked the area and sprayed over the decal with Testors Top Cote to protect it

The final result looks pretty good all I can see is the white image and no raised edge like you might get with a vinyl sticker

The decal printer is very temperamental but it's a handy tool I also used it to print red decals for my Oil bath air cleaner
