Default Placement of 1957 cross flags and FI emblems

Can someone give me the measurement of these? I had "Dual Quad" emblems made for my 57 and bought original cross flags and want to place them in the same places on the cove and above the rear emblem.

Emblems are now on and pictures further down in this thread

I measured all of this once for someone, and I think I posted it. I’ve been too busy to look for it today, but I’ll try to find it tonight.

anyone who is good with a 3D printer can make just about anything you want/need... there are a couple of guys on the Solstice forum who are making all sorts of things, including stuff made of 'unobtanium'

I had them made by EmblemMart. I had two sets of three made and split the cost with another member here. I’ll get some pictures later on today and post them.

I just installed them. Gives the car what Chevrolet "should have done" back in the day. They look factory with the same font.

I also just painted the brake drums red.

How does all of this look like to you guys?

You know what's going to happen, don't you?
Someone will see the emblems and start swearing that he has finally seen FACTORY cove emblems for 2x4 carb cars------------------and it will just become perpetuated more and more-----------------------until NCRS starts deducting points for cars that do not have the emblems!

I like your Duel Quads emblems.... I have a '57 150 I'd like to put them on. It has duel quads.......I'm SURE you've been asked before.... Do you have a file I could buy off you to get these made somewhere? or a link to someone that has a cnc cutter that could?
