Default Need help finding an emblem with pins 4.5" apart

My '66 Coupe has 2 holes in the back panel (below trunk) where I guess a dealer emblem was at one time. Now it's just 2 small 1/4" holes that let water get into my trunk.
Since I don't want to patch & paint them I figured I'd cover them with some type of Mustang emblem.
Anybody know of a Mustang (or Ford) emblem that would use mounting holes 4.5" apart? I can't find any sites that tell me how far apart the mounting pins are on various emblems.
I would rather use the holes if at all possible, rather than drilling anymore. I guess I could use an adhesive mount emblem as long as it would cover the holes.
I don't care about being authentic, I just want something tasteful & neat and that looks halfway right.
Any ideas are always welcome.

I'd say pick what you want to be there and use the adhesive mount tape-you could even file off the pins on a pin mounted emblem and then stick it on

I'm thinking about one of the "MUSTANG" emblems like the ones on the front fender.
It's almost 5" long so it should hide the holes pretty good.
Also might look sorta like it belongs there.

Check out Mustangs Plus

They have a fairly complete set of Classic Mustang emblems in stock and most are listed online under the Emblems category.

Hello. That sounds about right for a 66 GT-350 badge. That might fit perfectly and would look kind of cool, also.
