LeMans script fit

[bernd_st]

Here is one for the experts:

Can I reuse the original Alpine script emblem holes on the fenders for fitting the LeMans scripts?
As far as I can see LeMans would require to bore 2 additional holes at the tops. Alpine uses 4 pins while LeMans uses 6pins (3+3). Is the relative position correct afterwards ?

Looks to be in the same place. I never bothered to measure or compare it to the Alpine but I'll check itout

Thanks Jan...

P..S. The "Le" hole must sit lower see pictures attached...

These scripts are located in the original holes, looks like you don't have enough space between Le and Mans. Which E-mail are you using?

This is from an unrestored Le Mans. Hope it helps

Oliver,

Is that Jerrys car? If so it was a very early LM... Given the cars evloved over production in detail i would not be surprised if the spacing for the badges changed... But you'd need a decent samole of original photos and press shots to confirm

It is Jerry's. That's a good spot Michael! Still, HLM production was low volume over only a few years, so hopefully nothing changed but life's never simple...

Two owner car with me being the second owner with the reproduction scripts that I believe were made in France? a number of years back. Even though the side mouldings were removed maybe 50 years ago these scripts are secured in the original holes. Somewhere in the attic I have a template I made from poster board using the holes on the fenders of our other car #9112251. The holes are the same on both cars. Doug used the template to check our RHD car before installation of the scripts on it.

Thanks for your additional inputs. It looks like the narrow spacing resembles the original position best...
