Fuji BUNAG guide heights?

I checked the fuji tackle web site and couldn't find the specs on the BUNAG bridge guides. Does anyone have them? I was thinking of using them as running guides on a GSB 1081L.
Thanks
Luis

I remember finding a site with that info years ago, but I also seem to remember no height difference between the "bridge" guide and a regular spinning guide in the size 8 ring. If you are setting this rod up spinning, which I seem to remember you are, then I would use the fly guides - BFAG in the alconites or BFLG in the Batson I believe. They will be lighter and do everything else just as well.

I assume you're looking for overall height?

BUNAG7J = .354" / 9.0mm
BUNAG8J = .464" / 11.8mm

If you're after a different measurement, just yell. Be happy to check it for you.

Yes Mark, was looking for overall height on the BUNAG's and was considering these because they look stronger than the BLAG's and BYAG's.
Thank You everyone

They will be no stronger than BLAGs, but if you like them they will work fine.

Sorry for bringing this back from the dead, but do you happen to have the heights of BYAG-8JL, BYAG-8, and BLAG-8. I am building a spinning rod with a 25, 16, and 10 BYAG guides and trying to figure out the best transition guide to go from Y guides to fly guides on out to the tip. Do you guys have a preference, or do you go straight to fly guides? Thanks.
