246 Decals

Ron - It depends on what "electronico" clock you have, both I believe are identical to look at but have a different operation on the small knob that adjusts the time. Either it pushes or pulls. It could be the Daytona, 512 or 365 clocks are different - I don't know.

some are selling the Quartz tags for the 246, this is incorrect as far as I know, they belong to the later cars ie the 308 series.

see post 18 - 042 is the end digit numbers - I don't have the reverse side.

 

Ron - I would guess your clock tag would be the electric tag - easiest way to find out, does the knob push or pull.

Here is the reverse side of the tag

Sounds like its an electric version ? whatever that is!!

 

Scott - What clock tag is on ebay (post 31) ?

Superformance do the clock tags for the electronic version and sensibly priced at £24. You could pay £500 - £1000 for an original if your wallet is bursting at the seams. In my opinion they are a good replica and adds a little extra to the dino pack of collectable items.

 

Finally got around to making some new replica Klippan seat belt tags for the UK version. Really pleased with how they turned out.

Fortunately i had the old ones to copy and managed to get the right colour polyester to match exactly.

I have a few spare if any one wants a set.

Each country would have its own standard and therefore different tags.

The tag is OE but the fraying isnt- Is it stitched to the webbing? to stop the edge fraying even more and ruining the original tags then you can use a fabric sealer or a very small amount of super glue on the outer edge.

 

Coop
The polyester material is woven vertically and horizontally so when it is cut there is nothing to stop the fibres coming adrift. The side edges are heat sealed when the ribbon is cut from the sheet of material which looks like an embroidered edge. I wouldnt advise using heat on a valuable item as this, the wife's nail polish is good as well. Use sparingly.

Most i have seen are stitched at both ends, the lower edge is attached face down, then folded over and stitched as your ones sandwiched between the webbing, they did this to stop the edges frayng as your example!.

What version dino was this Tag fitted to, mine are for UK cars and were fitted to other models of the era ie Daytona, 365 etc?

Do you know anyone who can do the artwork in pdf, i have the ribbon?

 

I cannot see any evidence of stitching either so they must of come like this, us Brits are more thorough

Good idea on some sort of plastic sleeving, cling film? If they have survived this long then i guess they may go the extra mile, you need to stop the frraying though, it will unravel itself eventually.
