I'm looking for information about the 1972 Type 3 Australian Stripe Kit. I really like the look of this Stripe Kit and would like to put one on my 1973 Fastback. Any photos of a brochure, catalog or Type 3 with the Stripe Kit on a car, would be appreciated.
Anyone reproducing this Stripe Kit?...Would be interested in purchasing.

As far as i know there where available as an option for little over 6 months from late-ish 71 to early 72. That is all I know.
I can get some pics and measurements, someone might like to reproduce them. I got a mate from high school who owns his own business doing car art and pinstripes.
Called Pinstripe Dave. I might try to get on to him as get him to make a batch of them.
lol I rote in my previous post " you like mine?"
I was suppose to type "you mean like mine?" Just noticed it then, looks so funny now 😂

Found this Photo of the 1972 Type 3 Stripe Kit in a Rare 1972 Australian Accessory Brochure. Checkout those Racy Wheel Covers !

Hi everyone, Im new to this board but was sent this link by a person on another board (TheSamba) I am currently searching for a 60"s model VW bug to do a full restore on and while Im gathering up parts I thought I would put my cutter to work making some decals to help get a few extra dollars for my own VW build/restore. I had someone ask me to make these and thought I would post them here too
If any one is interested just hit me up with a email.
Thanks,
Mike

looking good so far, though it needs tweaking here and there.

Yeah the 3 I tweeked a bit more and the top inner stripe cut out I pulled back to end the same as the bottom more like your picture above. There 145 inches and $50.00 a set.
Im going to try to map the one for the lower door next

whats the UV rating on the Vinyl...? what colours are available?
vlad01 ·
what program did you use?
empi ·
I have an empi c-stripe kit for a type 3 if anyone is interested in it.
dschoppers ·
type3disease I would have to check the UV rating Im sure its good, I get the vinyl with the highest rating for auto use since originally I got the cutter to do my truck and trailer (lol) pretty freakin expensive to do one trailer and a truck but I have done allot of vehicles around here
since I have no overhead except the cost of the vinyl and tape.
vlad01 : I use a Roland color camm 600 or maybe its a 6000 (the one that prints and cuts) and I use flexisign 7.5 and 8.1
I try not to print too much as it does get expensive to get ink.

Oh also guys I dont do this for a living, just to get toys sometimes like now Im itching to get a VW bug and every little bit helps. My main biz is steel work, heres my website if anyone is interested www.dirtysouthchoppers.com so mainly Im a steel worker / welder
nothing special about me no matter what you hear my Mom say (haha)

Did anyone else buy one of these Racing Stripe Kits?
The Stripe was decent but the lettering needs some reworking.
Let's hear your comments.

I pm'd him ages ok for the files so I tweak them in corelDRAW while I sit in front of the car using my laptop and get direct measurements.
got no reply though. I can make it from scratch but it will be a lot more work.

I bought one of the Stripe Kits he had available on eBay, tried to contact him, but no response. He hasn't posted on theSamba since Feb 25, 2011, I don't know what happen to him.
As I said the Stripe was nice, I did a mock-up of it on my car and it appears to be spot-on, the angle at the rear and length will work nice to trim at the door gaps.
But, the lettering "TYPE 3" needs some refining, as with the spacing of the E & 3. I like the E & 3 connected as in the Australian Brochure and for those that don't, can make separate. I have the correct artwork for the "TYPE 3" from the measurement and photos that you had provided.
I'm probably just going to have my vinyl guy make some with the correct lettering and use with the Stripe Kit.

Another Type 3 with a Australian Type 3 Racing Stripe Kit
shouldn't be a problem for me to make some and get one of my customers to cut out whole bunch for me.
After all I do work in the printing/cutting industry and represent Zund, a Swiss cutting machine manufacture.
Just need some time 😂
dragsters for life ·
any word on these or do i just make my own?

Is anyone still keen on getting stripes? I have a sign business & was thinking of doing some repro stripes. I'm tossing up about some Empi C stripes for myself, but also looking into the Aussie type 3, the lower sill panel ones, formula vee.... anything like that. Looking at Beetle stuff too.
Also considering doing some "patina" style ones with cracks cut into them as well, need to do some fiddling to see if it looks OK first.
