Need help from Series I owner! Hatch vent dimension help

[spitz17]

Hello fellow Series I 69-early 71 owners!

I need some help with the placement of the hatch vents. The PO of my car (#5998) had some kind of rear hatch accident. He replaced the hatch with a later hatch, so it does not have the Vented Inner Panel, Hatch Vents, or Tubing . I have purchased the vented panel, hatch vents and tubing to make it original as possible.

What I need to do now is drill two holes in the later hatch and possibly cut the rectangles out on the hatch to fit the hatch vents (still debating on the rectangle cuts). Basically all I need, in millimeters, is how far the CENTERS of the two holes are apart from each other (where the hatch vent studs go into the hatch and into the tubing duct), the distance from the bottom of the hatch glass weatherstrip to the center of the two holes, and lastly, the distance between the right or left edge (depending on which vent) of the hatch to the center of the holes. The measurements have to end or start at the CENTER of the holes or else it will be off.

If there is someone could possibly provide me with a photo or a simple Microsoft paint drawn picture with dimensions, and save me the trouble of searching for a Series I Z, I would be greatly in your debt.

Thank you,

PS

I have a 70 hatch laying around if you want to pay for packaging and shipment from Indiana!

Here are some pics. Hope this helps. These were taken of the left side hatch vent. By my reckoning, it is 108 mm from the edge of the hatch, 218 mm center to center, 32 mm from the weatherstrip edge on the left end and 34mm on the right end.
