69 Nose Emblem Position

[Michael C.]

Can someone provide the measurements to correctly position the nose emblem on my 69? The front end was replaced years ago without reinstalling that emblem. Just need the point where the two flags cross. Of course only one measurement is needed, not two as indicated in the photo.

Lots of measurements in the AIM, but I don't find this one.
Thanks,
Mike

I have 10 3/4" down to center of X on the flags

Thanks for the reply. Comparing that position with a number of photos on the web, 10 3/4" appears to place the emblem too low. The photos appear to have the cross on an imaginary line drawn between vertically between the center of the headlamp openings. That would put the crossing at 9 1/8" on mine.

I've tried to illustrate that position in the attached photo.

Assuming that the 70 emblems are the same as 69, my unhit 70 has the X of the flags at 10 3/4 inches down which puts the top of the flag poles at about the center of the headlamp openings.
