The ford badge I can measure it for you off my coupe we set it out as per the ford manual when we fitted them will have a look in the morning for you if you like
Thanks for the tip on the belts. The measurements for the rear FORD badge would be greatly appreciated!

I've sent the belts off to Seatbelt Solutions to be rewebbed and rechromed. The buckles were very worn and rusty. I'll post pics when I get them back.

In the meantime, I've had the steering wheel restored. I had the woodgrain finish redone and covered with a coat of clear. My old wheel was so faded I initially didn't even know that it originally had a wood grain finish! The horn rubber and contacts were replaced. The centre pad is still original as it was in excellent condition. I think it looks a million bucks and it feels awesome to touch.

Thanks. I am very pleased I went with the original colour rather than red pepper which was on the cards originally. I'll post some more pics for you soon.

Default Re: gee vee's coupe

Gday mate, I have just received a set of FORD stickers from GT Performance in vic to place on my XB coupe boot. Did you get around to posting the placement measurements please?

This would be really helpful to get it correct.

Cheers
