MHX Guide Spacing

Hi guys, I have a guide spacing question. I looked at the GS chart on MH's site and I can't find my model listed. It is the L903-MHX, 7' 6". What am I missing? Thanks!

I tied a casting rod with a simple spiral and micros on the 902. If no one else provides information I will give you the spacing I used as a starting point.

Well since it's a new blank I would go with the guide spacing on the mhx L904 both of the blanks are
so close to each other I think the spacing would be about the same

at the risk of sounding like a moron, the spacing chart only lists the blanks as MHXSK-NUMBER I dont see the L-903 or L-904 blank listed. Is there another chart to tell me what blank equals what?

Thanks
