Reversed Eye Measurements

I built a jig and decided to reverse the eyes myself on the stock springs for my 48 F1.

I am now wondering if anyone has a measurement of stock or replacement springs from the the center of the spring eye to the center of the other eye.

I have another set of stock springs but they are old and the measurements are different on either side but its around 34 1/4".

I hope this makes sense... i am trying to get the measurement so that i can make sure the wheels are centered in the wheel wells when i put these springs back on.
Has anyone else reversed the spring eyes themselves??

Thanks a lot.

The measurement from eye to eye changes with the arc of the spring both straight across or along the arc.

Here's the spec measurements if that helps:
