Anyone have a factory original 87+ hatchback with the LX badge still where Ford placed it years ago? If so, can you take some measurements?

This is for a hatchback, so maybe distance down from lip of spoiler (or bottom of hatch) to top of badge, and distance to edge of hatch? Or perhaps another reference point?

Debating putting it back on my car but needs to go where it should. Always bugs me when I see a car with emblems not quite where they should be.

These are measurements from my 92


From the upper right corner of the X to the center of the lock cylinder > 24 1/8" (first two pics)




From the bottom of the X to the bottom lip of the gate > 7/8"



From the top of the X to the bottom edge of the spoiler > 1 1/8"
