Shelley jack decal.

Has anyone reproduced the decal that was applied to the Alpine jack? An example can be seen in the article on the tool-kit.

Also does anyone have a good ID plate off the OD unit hat we can make a copy of.

Help out

I will help out in any way I can guys. I just need to know the exact size of things if I do not have an original on hand.
I will check the OD I have and see what I can do, Are all OD plates the same size? My OD is from a SI Alpine....well I think it is from a SI. I will communicate in Wed/morning.

Andrew, Maybe Ian has the jack that he photographed for the tool-roll article and could measure the decal. Someone out there must have at least the remnants of one for the dimensions. Tony.

Still no information on the dimensions of the Shelley jack decal - can anyone help?

I think some approximation can be made by looking at a jack. I will look at my jack tonight.

Also I think the decal should look a bit more like this...

The photo is distorting the decal with it's angle and the curvature of the jack itself.

Thanks, Paul.

I have 2 jacks.

Interestingly, the black one came from a Series 4 Alpine, while the grey one from a late Series 5 (2 owner car). The size and color kind goes against the info on the Tool Roll page. I repainted the black jack myself, it had the same patina as the grey one but no signs of grey paint (or I would have painted it grey).

The arms are of different length, are positioned at different angles and the grey one has a stamped stop and the black jack stop looks to be more like something pressed in to location the body on the jack.

As far as decal size goes...looking at the picture of an original decal and with my jacks in hand...I am leaning towards 1.25" (1-1/4") wide and .875" (7/8") tall.

Actual Size...

But I am still mulling it over in my head...and on paper.

Paul, Thanks for the dimensions and pics. The jack in my Series 4 corresponds to the shorter one and the longer one is the same as that in my Series 3 Rapier which has 15 inch wheels. Could that explain the difference between your jacks? Tony.

Did anyone get around to reproducing these decals or does anyone know of a source?

Hi,

I had my studio reproduce the artwork for the jack in preparation to having some labels made. I had forgotten about it. I'll try and dig it out. I'm a couple of weeks away from having the early series oil filter 'label' (a direct print actually) reproduced in quantity as well and I have a guy reproducing the fire extinguisher label but that is a few weeks away. I'll keep everyone posted when they are done.

Shelley Sticker

Hi Tony,

I had forgotten about that sticker. Trunk tools will be a 2012 job for me on the rebuild. However In a month or so when my studio is less busy i will get them to complete and I will post on the Forum for those interested.

All the best,

Oliver
