Timing pointer

Does anybody have dimensions for the timing pointer for a 1969 S2. 4.2 . I do not have the time to order one and wait for delivery. Post to Canada seems to be 10 days.
I need dimensions for the bolt center distance. Or simply some info as to the symmetry of the point to the bolt centers.
I am supposed to be in my Tune up shop on Thursday and would like to make the guy a pointer to expedite the process

Terry
The holes are 1 inch apart and the pointer is 1/2 inch above the center-line of the holes. The pointer is about 1-1/4" long
You can bend a piece of coat hanger wire with needle nose pliers to make temp pointer.

Thanks David,
I will make one up from sheet metal, I figured it would be symmetrical, it will have to be final positioned at TDC on #6 I presume.
