Need help - F3 measurements

G'day,

I might have found myself a dana 60 online to go into the 49 F3. Problem is the guy isn't sure what year it is from. I'm away from home at the moment so can't measure the standard diff. Can anyone tell me the distance between the spring perches, centre to centre.

Thanks.
