69 Stingray fender script

[Gary H.]

Does anyone have a good closeup photo of the dot on the " i " in stingray on an original fender badge?

What are the lengths of the attaching stud?

Can not tell you the length of the studs but from memory originals had 4 studs and later service and productions had 3 shorter studs. Here are a few photos.DSC08247.JPG$_12.JPGIMGP1295.jpg

I don't have a photo but originals do not have a "groove" under the dot on the "I".

Here you go Gary. And original studs are approx 5/16" long while repops are shorter.

I wonder if there is 5/16 sticking out when installed on car. First set of repros I had were 5/16 in total length. New ones I found are longer, so approx 5/16 will stock out through the fiberglass.

It's really difficult to get a ruler in there and see what it is, but I believe it's 5/16" total length. I don't have a loose emblem to check. Maybe someone else does?

The original studs were much longer than 5/16".

Quite some time ago I posted several photos of an NOS original emblem (from the 1969 period). They should be somewhere in the archives.

Joe, the TIM&JG states "Original script attaches with adhesive and four long-positioning studs (ca. 5/16 inch) without nuts". I stood on my head, jammed my camera in there and put the ruler to mine and you're right, it's longer than 5/16". Difficult to measure exactly, but definitely longer than 5/16"!

That's the length minus the thickness of the fiberglass. The bare stud is longer.

Re: 69 Stingray fender script

How were these attached at the factory? The new ones all have an adhesive backing that you just peel and stick on the car. Should I remove the adhesive backing and use some other type of product?

Re: 69 Stingray fender script

Nope. According to the TIM&JG, that's how they were applied at the factory. No nuts, just the adhesive backing. However, the AIM clearly shows on UPC 11/13, Sheet A10, that a P/N 9419753 nut was used, but there's nothing in the "Mandatory Installation Sequence" regarding this. No nuts on any of my studs.

Re: 69 Stingray fender script

I measured the stud (11/16") from a 1970 emblem.

Re: 69 Stingray fender script

Hee's something interesting. I took a look at the driver side and found the stud to be MUCH shorter than the passenger side I had posted pictures of before. I'm wondering if my passenger side is a repop. There's no way I can get a ruler in the driver side, but you can clearly see by the picture (attached) that it's not the same as the passenger side.
