ok, non middle of the night update:
measuring the original SSL strips, I have each patch point 5/16th inch wide, or 10/16th of an inch wide for a stereo pair. (not 6 as I mistakenly typed above) and the height of the strip (which should fit perfectly into a clear designation strip, at ~ 4.88/16th of an inch. (just under 5/16th of an inch)
This of course is for a 80 point, 26" wide bay.
FYI, SSL still does sell the clear strips in groups of six. I *think* they're made for AWS/Duality/etc bays, but seems to basically fit my 8000 just fine.
In terms of an actually template that can be shared and used, I'm more than happy to upload mine, but it was made using a program called Omni Graffle Pro, which to be fair, doesn't seem all that common. Let me know if anyone's interested.
