Measurement of timing decal on fan strap

I'm making my own fan strap timing sticker/decal for my 1970 ROW 911E. I have all the information, and I think correct font, but I don't have the dimensions. Would anybody be so kind as to measure their sticker or lay a ruler next to it and take a snap? I imagine the dimensions are pretty much the same through the early years so if it's not a 70, it'll probably be OK. I'm looking for the length and width across the black border.

Thanks in advance.
Bob

Been working away on the strap decal, mostly using MS Word. I found an image of an original on ebay:


It's slightly different than the reproduction from Stoddard, so I based mine on that one.

I printed it on some gold wrapping paper I had lying around just as a test.



I think it's getting there. I'll try to find a better match for the foil material for the final go.

Worked on the artwork a little more and found some proper gold foil card stock sheets to print on.


I think it’s pretty much done, bit of two sided tape, and Bob’s your mother’s brother. I only need one, so if anyone needs one, I’ll send it for the low low price of postage cost from Canada.

I suspect it’s a pretty small pool though -only for ROW cars, and I think one year (1970) E and S only.

Ordered some more appropriate gold foil sticker material to print on, did a little more editing and now I think I'm done.




It's pretty good, the sticker material is a little more hazy than I'd like but really, close enough for me. I think I'll try the other stickers next.
