Unanswered: Reproduction Opel GT Engine and Door Decal Set

Check out this decal set for sale on eBay. It has the under hood decal that I haven't seen anywhere else and the VIN decal (but of course without the VIN and manufacture date included).

I had already purchased a set... they're nice quality.

Does anybody know if the German tire pressure decal goes in the same place as the U.S. one?

Can anyone answer this question? Also, does anyone have a measurement on where the emissions decal goes under the hood? An offset for the upper left corner of the decal would enable accurate placement.

Thanks!

Mine came today. They were only $12.50 USD plus $7.50 as a very reasonable shipping cost and came via air mail in 8 days. UNBELIEVABLY SUPERB quality!

With the hood open to the vertical and measuring from the upper left corner of the decal to the flanges of the hood reinforcement members, the decal is 1 11/16" from the left flange and 1.5" from the upper flange. I hope my references make sense to you. I have attached two pictures.

Thank's Bob for taking the time to take measurements and pictures. The pictures are a little dark but I think I follow. That is the driver's side in the photo correct?

Yes, that is the drivers side in the picture. Sorry about the dark pics. The dark paint just absorbed all of the light from the flash. The measurements are from the edge of the flat flange on the hood supports, not from the raised portion.
