HQ stripes

[Robbo_NZ]

Got me thinking about the stripe location at the nose cone, as I'm almost ready to put them on our restored one.
Surely our Lady in gold would be right, maybe Holden did this one themselves being their marketing one.
And my original one also looks the same, going forward into the nose cone.

I've never applied them, but (I'm going by pure memory here) but on my HJ I seem to recall that the edge that was tucked into the door gap (hidden from view) has some distinct end to it, from both the guards side and door side. So I'm guessing they came in 3 pieces per side.

Any one still have an original boxed set?

Most of thew original sales brochures show it onto the nose cone on HQ but not on HJ.
Either way it shouldn't upset anybody. Like I said they were either dealer or owner fitted.

Who knows how accurate the aftermarket decals are? Jason claims his are made from an original set but hasn't shared the fitting instructions (or even the part of interest so far!).

Here is a link to one version (not Stick This!)

Thank you for the added information pics, good to see your passion on this site.
Will go into the nose cone, if the kit allows this, looks better i think.
When she 's ready to show off, will put more pics up.

Interesting how they are using photos of STICKTHIS Customers Vans for their advertising?????? haha!

FYI mate I have not been on this forum since posting up before! So get your knickers out of your anus.

Yes i do have an instruction sheet , looks like its best to start at the rear of the door and work towards the nose.
It will all depend on how much you wrap around the front of door, and rear of guard , as to how much there will be left to run into the nose cone.
So a bit of planning is best.
Will put pics up when she's done

Magnets. Lots of Magnets will help you plan it out mate.

The information shouldn't be all secret anyway. The forum should be helping others.

Where did I say it was a secret? They are GMH drawings. Not mine. Offered to send them to a customer who may have purchased one of our kits?

Mate how about if you want to see them just ask that question... ;)

Does the sticker actually come in 3 sections ?

I seem to remember a guy applying one years ago & the whole side was in just 2 pieces & the door gap was cut after the sticker was applied.

Dr Terry

Yep 3 sections. I can drag out a NOS piece if anyone wants to see it. Will be buried deep in my NOS boxes as it was YEARS ago we did these!

For anyone looking at Sandman Stripes. Be carful with cheap vinyl cut ones. Yes we STICKTHIS do sell them as well. BUT they have fine lines and sharp corners. They will not last long term.

Screen printed stripes is really the only way to go for van you are planing to keep for longer than 3 months.

Hey Robin, what (sellers) stripe kit are you using?
Really looking forward to your progress pictures.

Stripe and Bow kits purchased in SA when we were there sometime ago.
Yes both kits could have had better fitting instructions, but they do steer you in the lay out way, you need to be in.
I think that makes sense.

OK, so you have the Stick This! kit from Jason.
Does the instructions explain from the door to the front nose or the nose to the door?
