'76 "914 2.0" Decal location details, Where exactly does the decal go - in mm? Options

[Gatornapper]

My sweet 1976 914 has no "914 2.0" on the rear, and I wondered why I found no filled holes in the rear trunk panel.

I was deeply saddened to discover that the '76 914's used a decal instead of the metal plate. Bummer. One of the few downsides of a 75/76.

Wanting to keep the car as original as possible (just put nice like-new Mahle's on it, removing nice VW EMPI's that came on the car - EMPI's are for sale), I just got my decal from AutoAtlanta, but I want to put it EXACTLY where it should go.

While it seems clear that they are centered vertically along the centerline of the trunk release button, I'd like the exact dimension from the button to the left side of the decal, or from the right side of the decal to the tail-light lens (backup light).

Searched the forum but found nothing.......

TIA!

I'm no help either. My '76 had the 911 red plastic wall to wall "PORSCHE" emblem across the back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

logic says it goes exactly same location as earlier badges.
measure a car with the badges and copy.

i'd measure mine for you and post but its a 74 1.8 so the 1.8 bit might be slightly different location to take a base measure away from/to....

for what its worth i think the decals are cool. historic evidence of 1970s and inflation/rising costs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Well, one thing is obvious. Your '76 is much much faster now!

Good work!

I would but I don't know anyone near me with the emblem on the back!

I'll bet there is no diff between your emblem and the 2.0 - or if so, it's less than 1mm.

Can you measure the distance between the right side of your 1.8 emblem and the back-up light? I'll add a mm or two to compensate for the width difference between a 1 and a 2..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Thought you'd have an answer for this already, but my 73 metal badge is 125 mm from the center of the trunk release button and centered on the tail top to bottom.

in metric, we don't do imperial measurement down here.
the "2.0" i think would be a different width than "1.8".
as additional info to photo "1.8" measures 60mm wide.

THANK YOU BRENT!

Now, what to do with the 105mm measurement from wonkipop?

Seems like the difference should be about 10mm.........from center of button to edge........

Can you check the right measurement? wonkipop has 35mm - that should be the same on both yours and his - I'd think........

@Gatornapper

measured mine from the edge of the rubber gasket on the trunk knob.
the knob with gasket seal is 40mm diam.

125mm from centre as per brent is right.

all looks good in your photo anyway.
long live the last of the 914s (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
porsche was one of the few carmakers that got collision bumpers to look ok.
the corvette wasn't too bad either.
