Gotoh Modern Tele Humbucker Bridge Question

I am currently building a Tele for a wedding gift. I'm using the gotoh Humbucker tele bridge in black and am still waiting on it to arrive from Warmoth. They have mounting specs on their website, but it doesn't give me the location of the humbucker hole in the bridge. I was wondering if anyone can tell me where the humbucker hole is located in relation to the front edge of the bridge, so that I can route the humbucker cavety. I would usually just wait for the bridge to arrive, but due to a tight deadline on this build, I am going to have to route that humbucker route (which is all that's left to do on the body) and then paint the body. I've searched endlessly to find that spec online, and have had no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks :guitaristgif:
 
Can't help you with the spec, but lots of guys have those, I'm sure someone can. But - why not paint first and route later? I don't see the big deal. You can paint, then rout and assemble when the bridge comes.
 
Thanks for the suggestion, I have thought of doing that. If I have to I guess I will.  I've just always preferred having all the routing done ahead of time.

Anyone? Just need one of you guys that have one of these bridges to measure how far the humbucker route in the bridge is from the front edge of the bridge.  It would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
