L0CKSTER Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Just clarifying that if my tank decal doesn’t sport the extra trapezoid detail, that I’m still able to go for 4 ranks bars? My understanding is that 1, 4 or 6 rank bars is acceptable without the trapezoid detail, but only 4 is accepted when the trapezoid is present. Hoping I can use 4 without the trapezoid as it’s my birth date haha Cheers! L Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is that 1, 4 or 6 rank bars is acceptable without the trapezoid detail, but only 4 is accepted when the trapezoid is present. What you are describing is a Level 2/Lancer specification. For basic clearance, it is not a requirement. For Level 2, you can use 1 and 6 bars without the trapezoid. If you want to use 4 bars, then you need the trapezoid and they 4 bars need to be double thickness. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Only 1, 4 or 6 "rank bars" on tank are acceptable: If tank has extra trapezoid detail on the center tank pin striping, only 4 thick rank bars are acceptable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah amazing thanks for clearing that up! I’ll go ahead and pop 6 on to my tank as I don’t have the trapezoid.CheersLSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aradun Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Just making sure you understand the clarification provided. You mentioned earlier that you wanted to use 4 rank bars b/c of your birthday. For basic you can use 4 bars with or without the trapezoid. There is no mention of the trap detail for basic. As Chopper noted, the trap is only noted for Level 2 certification and if the trap is present then you must use 4 ranks bars to meet L2 requirements. Now if you are going to put 4 bars on the tank make sure they are each 1/4” thick. That way if you ever decide to pursue L2 all you need is a small piece of black vinyl that you can use to cut the trap detail and add it to the tank. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Aradun, yeah I understand now the that L2 requirements are what stipulate the allowance of the use of the 4 bars and that I can only use 4 (thicker) bars if my tank has a trapezoid for L2 approval, but am free to use 4 for basic without the need for the trapezoid. I will want to shoot for lancer in the future so I’m just sort of ticking off easier L2 requirements as I go, and I don’t actually have the trapezoid decal haha so hence why I chose 6 as I wouldn’t have been able to go for 4 for L2 down the line anyway. And I’m not too bothered about having 4 for my birthday, thought it would be a nice touch but I don’t mind either way!Thanks again for checking that I understand, and I was thinking about this yesterday but the amount of help you guys all give to peeps with questions like me day in and day out is incredible and so valuable. Don’t ever think that we don’t appreciate you!
