Would someone be nice enough to fill in the blanks for me regaurding the included pic. I need measurements of the trunk letters. The holes were brazed shut and don't show on my trunk inside or out. I plan on using 3m tape to place the letters but I would like them to be in the right spots.
so
left edge to Letter S =_______
S to U = _____
U to N = _____
N to B = ______
B to E = ______
E to A = ______
A to M = ______
S left edge to M right edge = _______
Lower Trunk edge to Bottom of B =_______

Thanks in advance

Cheers
Steve

Took a tape measure to mine:

Left trunk edge to lower bottom left of each letter:

- S - 9 3/16
- U - 12 7/16
- N - 15 5/8
- B - 18 7/8
- E - 22 1/4
- A - 25 3/16
- M - 28 1/4

Right trunk edge to bottom right of M - 9 7/16
Bottom trunk edge to bottom of letters - 8 5/16 (wrapped around the curve)
S bottom left edge to M bottom right edge - 20 1/8
 
Thanks to SFM6S524 for the dimensions.

Oh, oh, hope mine are correct! :rolleyes: Perfectionists can add an 1/8" to each letter to center whole letterset across the trunk.
 
Hand built

When I first read this thread I thought to myself I'd take a piece of paper put it over the boot lid then take a pencil and rub it over lightly to mark the holes to make a template..

Then I said Doh he wants to put them on with a sticky tape product.

Not to be nitpicky but wouldn't you see the they are put on with tape cuz there would be a small layer between the paint and the chrome ?

Hmmm I just checked we're in the stock section. ;)
