Default Rumble and Trunk Lid Handle Locations

Hi, for a 30-31 Rumble Lid versus a Trunk lid: What is the dimension from the edge of the lid to the handle hole?
Can anyone confirm that for the Rumble lid the dimension from the top edge to the center of the hole is 2.75"?
Can anyone confirm that for the Trunk lid the dimension from the bottom edge to the center of the hole is 1.75"?
If these are incorrect dimensions, please provide the correct dimensions.
Thank you!

Use the latch to get the exact dimensions.

The hole needs to be placed to match where the latch position will be. It is important to note that the collar of the latch MUST touch the underside of the rumble lid panel. Otherwise the handle will pull the outer sheet metal down causing a low spot.
