Thankyou very much for such a comprehensive set of measurements, but can you please confirm what you are using for the datum point? Is it a central stud? On 427's I understood that the rear view mirror was mounted approx. 1 3/4" to the right of the car centreline and the nearest stud is approx. 3 1/4" to the right of centre. I'm guessing the latter dimension by using Jim Maxwell's photo of an original 427. Is your car a 289? because I believe the mirror location and hence tonneau stud positions on the front cowl are different to the 427?
