Mounting a nose badge ...

Postby Chris da Silva » Sat Sep 21, 2013 07:56

Hi.

I just bought a nose badge for my Cappo and I need to know the exact spot on the bonnet on which to mount it. The badge is stuck-on unlike most car badges: it does not incorporate any locating pins (and neither has the bonnet any pre-drilled holes!).

That being the case, is there a template I could buy/borrow from someone? Thanks if anyone could help.

Chris :)

Mine is unsurprisingly on the centerline, and its lowest point is 19mm above the bonnet edge. That should fix it.

Hi Ian.

Thnx for that. :) Looks like I will have to exhume my old school set squares and ruler to get the badge mounted dead straight on the bonnet ... :)

On a different note, I'll be expecting my Cappo this coming week. I'll send you some initial pictures of it and an amended (updated) membership form ASAP. :D

Cheers

Chris

Just to confirm what Ian says, that measurement ties up exactly with mine.
