spey guides spacing

Hello.
I'm an amateur builder posting for the first time.
I'm getting ready to build a 11'6'' 6 wt. spey rod using a 4-piece Batson blank (F1166/7*4DB).
Could any of you refer me to a guides spacing chart that I could use for this blank?
Thank you for your time.

Eijiro,
The info you need to do it right is in the library above, it's the static guide placement article. Guide spacing charts are nothing more than a place to start, and of little use if you want this rod to perform well.

Built one a couple of weeks ago and started out with this line up and just adjusted a little (can´t find the rod spec :( )

from the topp i cm 12,5 29 48 71 98 129 160 192 225 259

Built it for a guide up north here in Sweden and he just loves it, It carries a lot more line than a #6/7 think he is using a shoting head for a singelhanded rod #8/9.
