Question CSL OEM front strut/shock dimensions

I was wondering if anyone can help with this, so as I don't have to take the wheels/shocks out.
I am after the dimensions of the OEM CSL McPherson struts.
I need the following :

- diameter of the shock where it attaches to the king hub
- length of the shock boot
- length of the strut shaft fully extended

If someone has the OEM suspension laying around, please help out

I couldn't resist the temptation to measure them.
s.mac we agree on the dimensions.

I made this pic, if you think something's wrong, please let me know and I will update it.
