    I did the same thing a couple years back!     Google is your friend here......several spots talk about it and the measurements were consistent. Even got "pitcherz" to look at!!!
    One tip I used......in addition to the holes......use some clear RTV on the backs of badging. Keeps water/moisture from getting in your holes(no pun!)

    There are paper templates available from Mustang parts vendors. But, BEWARE!!!  I have never been able to successfully get the emblems perfect using them. Use them as a guide only, then tape or temporarily glue them in place, back away about twenty feet and get a good visual image of placement before nailing them down.
    I cannot stand it when I see cars with crooked emblems!  The smallest misalignment can be seen, so be careful.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.
