Front fender Emblem
Lets say a guy who owned a 1977 Corvette wanted to replace the crossed flags emblem on the front fenders with the Stingray emblem from earlier C3 Vettes.......are the mounting studs on the Stingray emblem positioned in same location as the Crossed Flag emblem i.e. will it be straight etc.??

The pin locations, aren't even close, for the Stingray emblems and the 77/79 fender flags.
There are actually 2 versions of the Stingray scripts, but neither would have "pins" close the ones on the flags. The 69-73 Stingray has 4 long pins, to accept speed nuts. The 74-76 Stingray has 3 short pins, to align the emblem, but it's attached with double sided tape.
The pins on the Stingray scripts are positioned randomly, when compared to the two pins on the flags, which are about 2" apart, and on the same plain.

OK, thanks. The Crossed Flags look awesome as well, I was just considering the idea.

Besides that, I drive my car.

My emblem fell off - after a 300 mile drive, it fell off in my garage!
Anyway, I reattached it with the double sided tape.
What a tedious PITA that is!
Cutting little tiny pieces of tape little by little.
Wish there was a better way!

I went back to the Stingray script last year but I still like those emblems and may use them again. Like the script they have three studs and fit perfectly. Adhesive Goop on the inside of the fender (on the studs) holds them very nicely.

Saw this... I thought it looked kinda cool for a C3 "Shark".
