Default 69 TA stripes

Can someone post or tell me where I can find the correct stripe dimensions and measurements for a 69 TA?

My manual had the dimensions wrong where it shows for the small stripe and the area between the small stripe and the large stripe, If I can remember tomorrow I can take a pic of my manual and post it.

What turned out to be the correct spacing between the stripe and the pinstripe? And the correct pinstripe width? I see different stripe setups on so many 69 TA's, it is incredible.

Here's what I found in the firebird tech section. Telly said he'll help with rest.

Paul, I have the hood measurements front and back of hood. I used a cloth tape measure and measured 90 degree angles across the hood. For the front measurements, the cloth tape works great for getting around the curves of the hood . I used the tape to conform to the hood not pulled tight for the front measurements.
Just to confirm total stripe width first : 1/8 " outside pinstripe 1/4" space to middle stripe 5 9/16 middle stripe width 1/4 gap 1/8 in pinstripe outside for total of 6" 5/16th stripe width.

Front: This is outer edge of hood measuring to center hood -12" in to beginning of first 1/8 strip. 18" for outside of inner 1/8 stripe with 25 1/4" to center of hood.
Back hood:This is from center hood to outer edge of hood - 9 1/4 to start of 1/8 stripe 16 1/6 to outer edge of outside 1/8 stripe with 25 1/2 total to outer edge from middle of hood.

Let me know if this works. I checked an rechecked the measurements but was late last night when I did this.
