Hi mf,
Those dimensions sound really short.
My 71 has 11" where the T meets the halo trim with 2 holes for tiny rivets. The holes are on the side surface of the ss trim, not the top.
Is the 68 trim THAT different?
Regards,
Alan

Are either of these original? Which one matches the attachment holes on the car?

Do you have the assembly instruction manual (AIM)? If there was a running change for these, the AIM is likely to show the late one and might list the part number of the early one in the revision notes.
