Airbox sticker / decal

PostPost by: Simmo78 » Mon Feb 13, 2023 9:41 pm

Good evening all, after a 12 year hiatus I’m coming to the final stages of putting the Elan back on the road.
Whilst not essential, I would like to replace the worn / tatty sticker that was originally fitted to the air box (Stromberg carbs) as it’s a 1970 S4 FHC.
Does anyone know of a source for these stickers? I can find stickers for the Weber airbox but nothing for the stromberg type.
Failing this, does anyone have a good quality picture that I may use to see if it can be reproduced?
Thanks in advance

Could you post a photo (with dimensions) of the worn/tatty version?

Morning Ianstuart, unfortunately the original label was that tatty and illegible from years of being in an oily engine bay I made the decision to remove it and clean up the airbox.
Regarding its size, it is (was) approximately 14cm long and probably about 2cm deep.
It was a ‘foil’ type sticker, predominantly black with silver and red text / pictures.
I’ve searched the internet for other pictures but have found nothing of any use.

Is this what you are after? Not the same as the photo above, but this sticker was fitted to Federal cars.

I'll see if I have the domestic version somewhere.

I think for a non-emission Stromberg engine you just need this one.....

For a Weber engine I think you need both of these ....
