C1 61 fender insignia

[Richard P.]

Does anyone have a template or dimensional layout for the three bar insignia in the side cove of a '61? I have put an aftermarket front end on my car and the holes aren't there for it. Thanks

Here is a template from my virgin 61, right side. Made it large to see better.
Dimensions are to the center of the holes.

Richard,
Be aware that the small blue and red bars are each have a right and left side. Different part #s cast onto the back, ends in an odd number goes on the left, ends in an even # goes on the right. I just compared two blue bars and the distance between studs were significantly different. You can use the right side template but extrapolate for the drivers side.

Joe,
Thanks a bunch for the template (and for going the extra mile!) It appears that the center "CORVETTE" bar has 3 mounting pegs. Is this right? I'm working with reproductions. Also, I'm assuming that where you have marked "cove" is the edge that covers the front of the three spears. Correct? Thanks again

Yes the large center bar has 3 studs.
To make the template I taped the paper to the fender and traced the edge of the cove and fender and the horozontal crease that extends to the edge of the front fender from the cove for perspective and then poked holes in the paper through the stud holes.
