I picked up two new old stock 'kits' for a 2824-2 movement recently (cases, dials, movement holders, hands, etc). The next step I am going to undertake are dial designs as I will not be using the dials included with the kits.
I took some measurements with my digital caliper tonight, but would like exact measurements before I start the design. The diameter of the dial is 42mm spot on and I am confident that measurement is correct, but as for the center/hand hole and the date window hole I couldn't get anything very accurate with my caliper. Is there anywhere I can find measurements? I downloaded the pdfs from ETA, but unless I skipped right over them I did not see any of this information.
Specifically I am looking for the following :
I don't have a 2824-2 movement just yet, but I suppose I could just buy a date wheel for the time being to get those measurements. I haven't decided if I will use the 3 or 6 location yet.

Specifically I am looking for the following :
- diameter of the center/hand hole
- anything related to the date wheel (thickness of the wheel, how far out from center, display measurements, etc)
- anything related to the dial pins on the backside so my dial maker has that information
