My 'cuda340 badges are lined up as follows:

Driver side - taking a straight line along the back edge of the scoop it lines up near the middle of the "d"  (see photo)

Pass side - taking a line as above it lines up similarly with the 3 (on yours the first 4)

And yes I know my apostrophe is missing - bad grammar on my hood  :crying:

what do you need? total length or drill template?   I can get both for you, but if you need it for drilling the hole, I strongly advice you to get the tags before drilling. for my aftermarket tags I had to weld up and redrill... the holes were off by a hair or two

thanks uk cuda, is that measured from the back of the scoop its self or the edge of the hood's scoop area.

dutch if i could just get the location for the first hole (front) i could go from there, i already have the call outs, i'll measure them today

Geoff,
the centre of the first hole is exactly 810mm ( 31.89"...? ) from the front of the hood.

Edge of hood scoop area.

But as with a lot of this stuff, I don't think the factory regarded a millimeter here or there as mission critical.

I agree, there is a lot of difference.   The tag on my hood way more to the back of the hood... its in line with the rear edge of the scoopinsert.  ( about where the "d " is located on yours)
