I have installed a 3.0L SC engine in my 914 and I want to add a Porsche badge to the front hood. How far up from the front edge of the hood do I mount the badge, understanding the obvious that is must be centered as well?

AFAIK, this is the only 914 ever badged by Porsche. It is the 8 cylinder 914S given to Ferry Porsche on his 60th birthday. This pic shows where the badge should go if you must. Looks to me that if you draw a line between the inner top corners of the headlight blinders, you have the location for the lower point of the crest.

BTW, the new 50 Years Porsche 914 book documents that the 914 program committee wanted to badge all 914s but the collaboration with VW prevented it. Kind of has me rethinking my anti-hood crest stance (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
