when you take a picture make sure you have something you can refernce from in the picture.....even if its just a dime or quarter.

Then take a caliper and measure the width of the quarter. then take a measurement of the plug in the same pic....find out how many "Quarters" there are that measurement.

Then take a caliper to a real quarter and multiply it by the number of "Quarters you got for a measurement.

You can do it for length and width......you can also do it to find when tapers start and such....

Hope this helps....It made sense while I was typing it at least
