Title: Correct COBRA Emblem placement on the fender?
Post by: Kent on July 31, 2024, 05:18:31 PM
Can someone here please measure the placement of the COBRA Emblem on the Fender? I know it should be 2.25"-2.5" from the highlighted section of the fender but I can't find any data measured from the door or front of the fender and the bottom. Thanks for helping me out for the final touches. Thank you.

I dont think that measurement is correct.

Maybe someone will have a better idea

Since I have original paint and emblems on my GT500 I can measure right now where they are mounted but not the actual holes until I remove my emblems which I will do when I take my fenders off the car and push from the back side but that could be a while.

Corey you are the best, that's what I was looking for. Is it the original fender? Thank you.
Maybe Shelbyman1970 can also check his measurement to verify.

Kent,

I do not know for sure if it is original.  The date stamp in the fender is washed out and filled with paint to the point I cannot read it.

Emblems are off my car so I was able to measure the hole locations. This is passenger side.

Top hole is 6 5/16 from edge, 3 7/8 down from body line in fender (tape curved to fender, not straight line)

Lower holes are 5 1/4 and 7 3/4 from edge and 6 5/8 down from body line.
