 Posted: Wed May 20, 2015 6:10 pm Post subject: Nose emblem location measurement |
 |
|
A hack welded in new metal and drilled my hole about 1/2" off center. To ensure I put the emblem back where it's supposed to me I need a measurement. I figure the most accurate would be from the lower lip to the center of the upper hole. Can someone measure that distance please and post up? Thank you!

Since my lower lip has a radius where the skin breaks toward the front (like all of them do- approx. 3/16" qtr round), I measured from a much more precise point- the bottom of the windshield frame down to the top hole. It's exactly 158mm frame seam to the center of the hole- using a tape.

I was thinking of using a tape measure to clip the lip, but that works brother! Thank you!

| You may also notice the two side holes, which correspond with the indent between the V and W in the logo, are directly in line with the center of the screws for the turn signal lights (in Gordo's photo, the notches for the lights.) This is what I used to line up the logo on my bus. |
