Finger Rest Location Measurements

Could somebody with a mid 60's 4001 or 4000 please take some measurements of where their finger rest is located on the pickguard? I realize these measurements are different from bass to bass. I'm not exactly sure what the best point of reference to measure from would be.

I have a template of a late 60's-early 70's bass, but it looks like they started moving the finger rest up a bit higher and more towards the toaster than the mid 60s basses.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!

make sure you don't screw into the lead wire from the neck pickup ...
