Default '81 nose emblem placement

Howdy folks
Just got my car back from getting a few spots touched up, including the nose. The emblem mounting holes have long been gone, and I need to know the correct position to put the new emblem on - does anyone have a quick measurement they can throw at me?
I'll be posting pics soon as everything's all buttoned up

Thanks!
Jeff

Thanks it does help a bit - how far from the bottom tip of the emblem to the tip of the body (either the bumper tip or the body tip, it doesn't matter). From your pic it looks like mine was mounted much higher.

Mine measures one inch and 7/8ths from the bottom of the emblem to the line for the top of the nose section.

Mx,

I just made this the other day for another member! It was pulled from a 30k mile original car and now its up on the help repair section of the site now!

Go to this link http://willcoxcorvette.com/repairand...lp.php?hID=305

Save the template to your desktop.
Open it with Microsoft picture manager.
When printed it should be to scale!
