pk ripper nos decal placement and application techinque ?

[oldjoe]

Can any body give me measurements for applying nos pk ripper decal set need help please! My 82 is going to come back to life! Would also like application methods.

Don't know exactly where they go, but the method I use for applying decals is pretty fool proof.

I get the decal and fold the backing back a little depending on the size of the decal. I make sure the folded backing bit is folded all the way back to where it is flat. This forms a sort of tab. Then, keeping the sticky part slightly lifted (so it doesn't contact the surface it is being applied to, I line the decal up where it is supposed to go. Once it is aligned, I attach the sticky part. Then I slowly peel the backing out, using the folded back tab.. As I peel it slowly away, I use my thumb or finger to evenly stick the decal to the surface, rubbing it side to side as I peel to keep the decal bubble free.

Voila! Hasn't failed me yet.

There is also a photo of an early 80's frame set that is supposed to be NOS.

Spray the decal with soapy water and use something like a credit card to perfectly align the decal and press the water out.
