Default Pontiac RTS emblem dimensions

Hello!

So our shop is building a 78 Trans Am. We're using a Heidts IRS out back. We had an idea to recreate the Pontiac RTS emblem that sit on the dash face and change it to IRS - Independent Rear Suspension.

That said, does anyone know the dimensions of that emblem?

I think it would be easiest to just order the emblem and make a decal to place in the center. The center of originals just pop out and dims. are 0.332" x 2.272".

I have a bunch of these, I would donate one if needed as opposed to buying a new one. The emblem is chrome plated plastic and the emblem part is a piece of thin aluminum or steel that is glued in with printing on it. Could even use the original piece of metal & find a way to print what you want on it.
