Bill, Serge, here are some pics I have digged out for you.
As indicated in my earlier post, I have used a large fan belt.
Hope to have been of service, cheers,

great job Ralph,
How did you wrap the vinyl? remove strip, glue vinyl to car, pull vinyl over cowl??

or, did you not bother and just lay it over the top because it can't be seen?

Hi Bill, I glued the vinyl to the car over the lip and just few mm over the tack strip.
