Brass letters will not fit in the holes for an aluminum lettered 
trunk. Some letters will, some have different spacing. And the little 
plastic fitting the letters insert into seem to be like hen's teeth 
to obtain.

I'm sure you mean 14", not 15"

Actually, the sail patch came in two blues, mostly Solent Blue but 
cars made after perhaps the summer or a little later of 1968 changed 
to Corsica Blue for the sails and i believe dropped the patch under 
the TC on the hood. the change is noted in the September 1968 service 
newsletter. Perhaps Rudiger of this list could tell you when your car 
was manufactured from the serial number.
