Not cheap but what you're looking for.

The thinner white band tyres are a later style and I've only ever seen them available on radials. I think for cross-ply tyres you're pretty much stuck with wide whites.

ah, well i may have to go to radials then, as i really wanted the narrow bands :cry:

the only other option is to buy some plain crossplys and get mr whitewall to cut the bands in for me. last resort :?

Just go to north hants tyres & do a search for crossplys, also if you go Mr whitewalls route remember if you have brand new tyres then you will need to have @ least 3k miles on them before you whitewall them as the paint will react with the oil in the tyre & turn brown 😞 trust me ive seen this happen alot

Places in Germany will bond rubber flaps or bands onto the tyre, but again, it´s not cheap and you need new tyres to start with.
