TR2 - „Positive Earth“ sticker

[tr2_applegreen]

Hi everyone, has there originally been any „Positve Earth“ warning sticker on the TR2?

If yes, on which spot, and which design?

I’m curious to learn more about.

In the 1950s, all cars were positive earth, so no need of a sticker.  And TRs were positive earth from TR2 to TR4.

Someone will now post to say that xxxxx car was negative earth, but if so, weren't many such.

@ianc - sure, you are completely right 

So let me rephrase the question:
Which of the sticker designs around is the most period correct and where should it be out/makes the most sense?

This might look OK, Not original because they were never fitted at the time but it would probably do. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203892959184?hash=item2f78f7a7d0:g:eHEAAOSwnGVgFypx

I've bought several reproduction stickers from the website "I Say Ding Dong.co.uk", which is a great source of all kinds of quality stickers for classic cars and bikes.

As for positive earth labels, they have several options, including these :

 

As Stuart says, they were never fitted at the time, so I guess where you place them is up to you  . . .

Thank you, both.
Is the sticker somewhere attached on the engine bay pictures, @Deggers?

No the period pictures show that they were never fitted originally.
