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.
70 six karmann numbers were in the middle of the rear trunk floor, but 71 and 72 sixes were in the right rearClick to view attachment

You can actually read it! Most are horribly stamped.

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