57 hood weatherstrip followup question

[Bruce B.]

Attached are some pictures of a number of hood weather strips which I have saved over the years and a new one I bought for my 57.
# 1 is an old original 57 door weatherstrip which has a "S" in a square and the cord in the center. The JM says it is also used on the hood.
#2 is the new replacement.
#3 is a old piece from a 62 Corvette
#4 is another old piece off a 61 Corvette.

Is #1 correct for the hood weatherstrip on my 57?
Would #2 pass judging?
Are #3 & 4 correct for 62 &61?
Thanks in advance

Bruce, #1 is what a '56-7 Judge's expect to see with "Diamond S" logos approx every 32" with white cord. Gary....

Re: 57 hood weatherstrip followup question

Bruce, I agree with Gary and Roy. Number 1 is the correct configuration. What I don't agree with and can provide proof is that the logos were not placed approximately every 32". I have some original trunk, deck lid, hood ledge and door moldings and have found that the logo spacing can range from 12", 17", 27", 32" and 35" depending on the application. I know the common thought is approximately 32", but my evidence show's that it was much more random.
My two cents
