GPS Reel Measurements for a Stella 2500?

Hi all

Doing a virtual build for a customer and was hoping someone had one of these spinning reels or had done a build with one. I'd like to set up the guides correctly but the customer doesn't have the reel yet and is planning to purchase after he gets the rod. If anyone has taken a spool diameter measurement, this would be awesome. If not, I'm off to a store to see if they will let me measure.

Thanks!

Terry

Thanks Ray, appreciate the response.

I have a 2500 but a different model and it too measured 47mm so I was going to use this in a pinch. Thanks for confirming.

I was also able to locate one at a sporting goods store and take some measurements as well.
