i have a white face template for the heater cont.....need help

my Z28 is still in the shop for two more weeks> give or take, so i cant measure it myself. anyway below is a basic white face template i found on the net a long time. i want to add a bit of custom work to it and then print it up so its ready for install. the problem is i dont know the stock templates measurements, so i'm hopeing someone could tell me the right measurements.
thanks in advance

oh also if someone has a 3speed auto shifter template scanned can u please post it.
thank

showing:

1 3/4 inches -height

6 5/16 inches -width


Im not sure if you want to go by these measurements because its not actually on the controls yet and i cant tell you how they fit. They should fit almost perfect because i used the same gauge templates and those fit just about perfect.

I really wish i could just measure the controls in my car...but sorry no help there.

But im pretty sure these will fit right over so there pretty close to exact.

I hate to spoil your fun but those dont line up for didly. The letters on the shifter dont line up (its actually different spacing for different years so who knows it might line up on yours) and the HVAC just has a single light and the letters are painted on.. I actually left the HVAC on cause I couldn't find anything better and bought a Mac Ewen shift guage.

im not really worried about the shift plate template and ill find out once i try putting them on...

and im pretty sure the HVAC controls will line up fine...

i used there white face templates and for 20$ they line up just as good as mc ewens for a lot less of the price...

the colors are different which i didnt know at the time and coulda got different colors if i wanted

oh and for $20 they threw in the HVAC and shift plate overlays i didnt even expect that so it was a good deal.
