Police placcard measurements needed

#1

Post by Johan U[H] »

Dear all,

Springtime is project time and since the full rebuild of my 40 UH in 2018 i have only minor updates. One of them is actually to apply a "police-touch" to it (i guess the chance of being a police bike in the beginning is quite high anyway...).

I have a few items that can do as a red spotlight and a fire extinguisher - a baton club i can make in the lathe... Siren is a long term affair - but that will come when the day and money is right!

So - can anyone give me the measurements of the "police placcard" used from 1940 and onwards? Have searched the forum and net but nothing found, and i will make one myself. Its the rounded model im after, and the measurements needed to replicate one! Photos i have a bunch of already.

Thanks in advance, and stay safe out there!

I posted some pictures in the Gallery, in the police section.
Let me know if you need more. Steve
