Good Day,
I would like to install a leaping Jaguar hood emblem to my 89 XJ Sov.
Does anyone know how far back from the front of the hood it should be. I have seen them at various measurements.
Thanks
Ted

Looking straight down, the tip of the leaper's nose should be just overlapping the line made between the hood, and the chrome grill. On the 7" leaper, the front of the base is 4 and 7/8 inches from the same line. Although the 7" leaper is recommended, If you buy the 5" leaper, the same rule applies, Just hold the leaper in position, to where the tip of the nose, is overlapping the grill and hood line. Have fun, getting the bolts in from the bottom is a pain.
