Default Positioning Rear Letters

I am 90% complele on the restoration (body off) of a 74 coupe. I have put on a 80-81 rear bumper but I need assistance from the group. I'm looking for a pattern or template that I could use for positioning the rear Corvette letters on the bumper. I have to drill holes and I don't want to screw it up. Anybody have something like that? I asked some of my used parts suppliers if they could stencil onto paper the pattern from a junked 74 bumper but no luck there.
Thanks

It's a nice touch to do these letters, a lot of people just use the newer emblem. Send me a PM if you would like and we can discuss how to get a template to you. I assume your old bumper is trashed?

Thanks Rod. Stock replacement '73 tips and bezels, but in stainless. Stainless is necessary because the bezels need to be cut and reshaped to match the different angle of newer bumpers.
