does anyone have a good emblem template for the stingray emblems on a 69?
 
which page is the diagram in the assembly manual for it as well (I cant seem to find it but could be turning right past it or missing that page)
 
also..  I have a template for drilling the holes for the passenger side mirror.  are the mirrors for each side symmetrical?  ie, if I flip the template over for the drivers door will it be correct (some
cars in the 60's were not symmetrical)
 
again I cant find this in the assembly manual either, so if you know the page, please let me know.

The holes for the drivers side mirror should already be there with attached nuts on the backside.

Ben - my '69 AIM is on loan to a friend right now but I found this in my '70 AIM. It was in the body section right around front bumper and hood installation. Perhaps it will help.



Haven't found anything on mirror location but I'll keep looking. I do know the mirror location was moved back sometime in early '68 to it's current location. From everything I've ever seen, I believe they were symmetrical L to R.

I also have a very simple, wax paper template I used to install the side emblems on a '69 several years ago. One fender was replaced and I transferred the pattern from the other side to drill the holes. It worked well and I can send it to you if you wish, let me know.

Good luck.

One of the first things I did for my '69 Coupe was to install a right-hand mirror. Although I triple checked the location of the holes according to the template I received with the mirror before I drilled, I have not been able to adjust it sufficiently to use it.  I wanted it because I can't see past the right hand pillar too well.  I believe I will enlarge the holes on the mounting bracket to it can be moved slightly rather than filling and redrilling the holes in the fiberglass.

My point being you may want to tape all the parts together before you drill, regardless of where you get your template.

They might still be there, just filled in.  Easy to find out.

Does anyone know if the stingray is centered over the gills on a 69

Regarding the R hand mirror location, you will not find in the assembly manual as it was not a factory option. Regards, Mike
