Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but you can download the vector image from:

http://vectorlib.free.fr/DonkeyKong/vect/DonkeyKongcpo_2.ai (http://vectorlib.free.fr/DonkeyKong/vect/DonkeyKongcpo_2.ai)

and get all the measurements you need from it (open with a vector program such as Inkscape and change the grid to inches or cm).

yeah that what i thought till i got DK and DKJR which in theory should be the same size... but they were different.
(note I was openin them in PS5 not AI5).

However I still need the measurements of these gaps... and the measurement of the panel... all will be revealed  :applaud:
