Anyone know the EXACT dimensions of the Ford oval?

I contacted W.C. Lewis about his Yamaha badges that replace the Ford ovals on the trunk and grille. He said he hasn't made one for the Gen III yet but could very easily if he knew the exact dimensions of them (like 3.235 wide by 1.245 high)
This would be the width and height within the chrome oval, not of the whole emblem itself.
Thanks!

I think it would look cool and more like a tuner car, if it said:

Ford, powered by Yamaha.

Put the "Ford" in the standard logo.

Just a thought.

Mark, I think the Ford logo looks just fine :)
That Mustang in your sig is exactly the same as my friends - the grey ones are the fastest!!! Especially the '87's with the Speed Density computer!

Just out of Curiosity.....

Why would you put a Yamaha badge on a car who's engine was made by FORD.

The Yamaha is only in Gen I's and II's.

If my info is correct LOL, Yamaha still had input in the engine and I believe they did the actual engine assembly. I am for certain that Yamaha did have something to do with the engine.

I'm losing track of how many times I've posted this: :rolleyes:
(From www.v8sho.com)
"The SHO V-8 was developed jointly by Ford and Yamaha Motor Corporation. Blocks are cast using the patented Cosworth process at Ford’s Windsor , Ontario casting Plant, then shipped to Yamaha in Japan for machining and assembly. The new V-8 is another version of the Duratec family of modular motors. The engine is installed in the Taurus SHO at Ford’s Atlanta Assembly Plant."

Anyone have an answer to my original question? This was not a philosophical posting. I didn't ask "does anyone here object to me putting a Yamaha badge on my car because if there is I wouldn't want to offend anybody or anything?"

I do not have anything to measure as closely as you appear to need, Mark, but when they do become available, would you let me know please, so I can order a couple also?

Thanks.
