Width of hi-fi scarlet stripe approx 5/8" plus 1/8" gold lining stripe each side, so total width 7/8". Stripe finishes 3/8" before beginning of rolled edges.
 Rear guard hi-fi scarlet stripe finishes 1" forward of loop stay clamp hole and 3/8" before beginning of rolled edge.

Hello TBS

                  Thanks for that, is there a specifiction book you use that you can buy as I would like to get one if there is can you let me know the title/author please.
 In a past posting I was after a UK 66-68 bonnie tank, after 3 months I managed to dig one out that looked Ok but after digging filler out the evidence said it had been down the road now waiting to have it professionally restored.
Not cheap but supply and demand I suppose.

                         Take care

Measure 3 1/4"  from the top front of the tank, down centre seam, and that is your starting point. Keep tank badges on for reference, and take some 1/8" tape from the starting point, to just behind the point of the front of the badges in a gentle curve. Then using the same thickness of tape, from just behind the rear point of the badge, take an arc up, over, and around the kneepad, finishing underneath, 1" in front of the fuel tap. Top will be hi-fi scarlet, and sides will be silver. http://www.inventivestudios.co.uk/thebikeshed/68bonnie.html
