Well, folks, I got them on!

I'd love to post photos, but I can't seem to get Photobucket to work right tonight

The measurements given by MickMate and ERA were essentially the same, the ones from Finish Line weren't very clear, so I used the ERA/MickMate measurements and am very happy with the way they look.

If I can bring Photobucket to it's knees, I'll post some photos...here's hoping!

[EDIT: It took a couple of days but Photobucket managed to clear multiple issues, so here are some photos of the finished product:]

First, a closeup of the badges, first front, then rear:




And now full views, so you can see approximate locations (keep in mind yours may differ, depending on the dimensions of your body):




I am pleased with the look!

I did drill holes in my replica's body to mount the badges, and used a round "push type bolt holder" in size #6 to secure them to the body. It is a bit difficult to get the bolt holder on with your fingers, so I chose a small socket with a diameter to match the circular bolt holder and with the help of an extension used that to push the bolt holder up onto the pins from underneath. Worked just fine for me, hope it does so for you.

Cheers!
