1927 ariel tank lines

[rodney.mccue]

hi can someone tell me the thickness of the lines and maybe some pics of a 1927 ariel petrol tank
thanks rod

The thickness would vary as it was applied by brush and depending on whether it was Phil or Bert putting the lines on. Pics are available in the 1927 catalogue available on the club website. There may also be a drawing on the Danish Klub website where they have a large collection of tank drawings donated by Draganfly, though I can't remember if there is a 1927. I have also sent you some pics

I gained these experiences during my practice with the renovation of Ariel motorcycles. Mostly it was black Ariel.

Just updated my post lines are 3/32"

I acquired this pic of an original 28 tank (ok not a 27) from Karol.
My estimation was 3–4mm for the gold lines and 1-2mm for the blue lines.

Handpainted, very happy with mine.
