Old Fenwick blank catalog

Hoping someone can find the butt diameter of the Fenwick SH 982-F fiberglass blank in an old catalog? All my old stuff is in storage for a remodel project and not easily at hand.

Thanks in advance.

Great, thanks guys. appreciate it a lot.

I came across an unlabled blank while sorting through my stock of old blanks and suspected that it was a SH 982-F. I must have removed the Fenwick factory decal at some point and then set it aside. The butt size, and length confirm it is such, thanks.

John, you are welcome. Glad to be of help. That is why I posted about saving catalogs.
