I found that 3/8" (9.5mm) are very close (see pics below). I cut the old floor piece and overlayed it on the new one and then measured to get the stampings in the same location as they were originally.    |

Just FYI, if you have a /6 the number is in the middle of the floor section. The location on the right is for the /4 cars.

So the size of the stamped body number is larger than stamped VIN. -Tonny |
