Thanks!

Yea, it's been a while since I looked into it. '69 Chevelle is probably correct. DO NOT use a '69 Camaro one - it won't work.

Yep, it's a '69 Chevelle bowtie. Got it off ebay. I bought the Camaro bowtie first and found out the hard way that it doesn't work. I used some self-threadding nuts on the studs that stick out the back.

That's the '69 Chevelle bowtie as mentioned earlier except that GMMG has exclusive rights to have them made in red. You can only get the blue one.
