Hello Z/28 owners,

Wondering if anyone could be a super sport and do me a solid: I'm looking to make a custom emblem and need the dimensions of the OEM "Z28" badge. Below is a picture of the dimensions I need; if anyone can help me out with them it would be much appreciated! Maybe in mm as opposed to inches just to be a bit more accurate, if possible.

A = Length of the 28
B = Height of the 28
C = Height of the slash/overall height
X = Length of the Z
Y = Height of the Z
Z = Overall length

For anyone wondering, below is a picture - crappily done by me in Paint - of what I'm trying to get made. FYI, Z22 is the code for Rally Sport.

How are you wanting to reproduce it? Do you know of anyone that has raster to vector software? Would make this easy?

So far I've only spoken with Emblempros about making a custom badge; they said that they can make what I'm looking for, and just need me to provide dimensions; I guess they don't have an OEM badge handy to compare so I am hoping to get the dimensions from someone who does, to make it as OEM-looking as I can.

Just buy a z/28 badge to use for your measurements

Appreciate the suggestion, although $22.50 (or probably more like $40+ for me as I live in Canerda) is that much more than free, and considering this is a relatively simple request - requiring about as much time as finding a factory badge on ebay (kidding!) - I thought it wouldn't be much to ask.

With that said, I went back to grade 4 math and measured the tires (known diameter) in a profile picture of a Z28 and compared that to the badge to find out [approx.] how big the badge is in proportion. Ha! The badge doesn't have to be dead nuts on proportionate, and probably won't be by the time the new badge is actually manufactured, but I think it will be close enough that I will like it. Still wouldn't mind getting "official" measurements, but if that's not a possibility I think I'll be fine.

A: 4"...B: 5/8"...C: 1 3/8"...X: 2 7/8"...Y: 3/4"...Z: 7"

Best of luck with these measurements. Sorry I couldn't get it in M&M's for you.

i made some badges with emblem pros help. you could buy the emblem, copy it on a copier and send it to them. works well.

Sweet, thanks! I actually came up with 4" and 7" for A and Z too, although I was off a bit (~1/8") for the others - not bad for a sub-par resolution pic. Much appreciated!

As mentioned above, I guess you could call this plan B

, although naturally I was hoping not to spend another $40 or whatever if I didn't have to.
