Bonnet Ornament placement

[Zedman]

My 1981 Avanti II didn't come with the Studebaker Bonnet Ornament set (though it was an option) but I really like the look so I bought one to put on.  To expedite placement of holes, would someone be so kind as to provide the measurement from the front edge of the Bonnet to the front edge of the potmetal ornament, please?  Thanks.

I also like that look… so I added one to my ‘83, taking the measurement from a ‘63.

The front edge of the hood ornament is back 2 1/2” from the front edge of the hood.

Thanks a bunch MFG.

At the chagrin of purists. I even included the Studebaker 'S' emblem in my parts order..   I know it's not correct and goes against my own principles somewhat, but I just plain want it there. 🙃  I'd love to put Studebaker  script Badges on it too but I'll resist that notion !
