Read through this thread, it's the same as the 1966 Full Size console multiplex decal:

Is actually a trapezoidal not rectangular.

It's a scan of a repro I had. There was a person selling them also on ebay if you look at completed listings. I had e-mailed him and he still had some left. This one is a very good repro but too glossy, should have been about 60% gloss but it does have the raised letters.

yes i made a couple mistakes thank you skinnier and taller letters also letters dont bulge  these are etched into the metal
let see what happens with the next one im trying to get thinner material also the only thing that im confused is that yours is angled more on one side then the next side or this emblem has to look straight going down on both sides about how much lower than the top of door 1" or11/4" 11/2"lower than top of console door and then i can cut the angle i need on both sides to make it look straight going down
thx

The two top and two bottom angles should be the same degrees.

Hi if you look at your original picture you posted the right side top says tone bottom front- rear look at the angle of the side then look at the left side top says volume bottom balance do you see the difference on the angles  from top to bottom is that the way it has to be does that follow the lines of the console door because console door goes from top to bottom narrower or do they have to be the same angle as the one on the right more angle or the one on left less angle. The top of the label how far is it down from the top of console door it looks to me from other pictures about
thx

It's definitely the way it mounts on the 1966 Impala with multiplex and I would imagine the same with the 68 Camaro. See attached original ad from March 1966 National Geographic. It's a 1966 Caprice but mounts the same as the Impala.

Yes, trapezoid, larger on top than bottom, it is not a square or rectangle

Hi Paul do you happen to have this box that goes under console door ? Im having alot of problems getting the label
correct and centered. The box itself sits more to the driver side left. Under the door there is upper and lower plastic
lines and to the left you have the brackets and you have to center it but without the box like me i cant get measurements
correct especially where the dials come out on the outer of the console door.
Thank You Mike

I have a 1966 Impala SS with console multiplex which is a slightly different unit. Mine is centered on the console door, left to right plus I have the original dealer installtion instructions with measurements. I do not have the assembly manual for a 68 Camaro but possible the measurements for the decal isstalltion are in there?

Hi Paul the impala box should be the same since they use the same label.If you get a chance can you post the instructions
here actually the measurements. I can probably figure it out from there

Mike, I'm sure the multiplex box is the same but it mounts centered in the console door from left to right, whereas the 68 Camaro mount is off-set. Which measurement are you thinking will help you?

Hi Paul if you look close at the picture of cover that i posted you will see 2 lines one on bottom of box and one on top built into the cover .
Then if you look at the hinge side you might be able to see the bracket. The box probably sits center of the 3
things. So if i can get  the size of the square box which would probably be around 31/2 to 4" square. Not sure though
and the distance between the top of box and side of box to center of volume control button which looks to be around 3/4".Then I probably could center the box correctly. I wish i can find old garbage one that doesnt work so i dont have to bother people and get measurement .
Thx Paul
