Replacement decals or sticker, How to install?
I am working on finishing my Gugification Witcomb project and I would like to know how you'll place them.
I got the head tube badge on nicely but at a bit of a quandary on doing the down tube ones.
Looking at pictures of Witcombs, they seem to have the Witcomb name up from the side centerline of the down tube. If anyone has a Witcomb, could you kindly measure the distance between the two down tube decals

From eye level you're looking slightly down at the downtube, so you don't want them to be exactly on the side - "bias" towards the top a bit. It'll look right when you're standing next to the bike. Tape them in place, step back and take a look. You'll know when it looks right.

Checked on the FB group and they showed that the decals were 9mm apart. I cut a piece of masking tape at 10mm and used that.
Here is my install.
centering tape
First sticker set on.
Peeling the backing tape.
Second side installed
Center tape removed.

They only problem is the sticker is white vinyl and black printing, the edges show white
Might take a black sharpie to them.
