Help with positioning "turbo" emblem
Can someone out there do me a favor and get me a couple of quick measurements from stock 951 for where to exactly (or close to exactly) place the "turbo" script badge?
I just got my new badge (from Pelican) and have to put it on tomorrow without benefit of having another car around to measure. I know I could eyeball it, and I do have Morgan's book with a pretty good picture, but if someone wouldn't mind giving me some coordinates that would help. I'd like to get the distance from the break/cut line in the rear hatch panel UP to the baseline of the script and the distance from the middle of the final "o" out to the seam. In the picture I have it looks like maybe 1.25" UP and 2" IN from the line??? TIA.

Hi Stephen,
I just measured mine, which I know is original, and I got 1-7/32" from the crease underneath and 1-9/16" from the line to the right of it. BTW, I've gotta see the 20k mile 944 turbo some time! My car is still out of commission.  -Matthew

Hey guys,
Thanks for the tips... I'll take a picture of the final job as soon as possible. Matthew, you're in L.A., right? You're welcome to come and view the garage queen anytime... ;-). I'll publish some pix here when I get them together too.
