1977Bonnie140

Need a little help. I have my tank out at the painter for my 77 T140. I had taken the time to trace out a template for the tank scallops from an old existing tank. I then transferred the template to my tank and taped out the scallops so the painter would know exactly how paint them. Well my dingbat painter started sanding the tank and simply took off the tape without taking measurements or making his own template. Now he does not know the shape, and my original templates seem to have grown legs. Can anyone out there with a 76 or 77 tank help me out and give me some basic measurements? Basically, what is the spacing between the stripes at the tank hold down bolt and how wide are the stripes at this point? And then at the very tips by the seat what is the distance between the stripes? I think I can wing it on the basic shape of the arcs. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Make sure your painter has the tank emblems and screws, AND WON'T LOSE THEM.

The paint lines should mate with the emblem's corner points.
