Default KC-25 Centuri Honest John body tube length

The YORF plans for the Centuri Honest John KC-25 state two body tube lengths:

7-1/4" and 8"

I'm inclined to go with the 8-inch measurement, because Centuri listed an 8-inch ST-8 tube in its catalog. But I thought I'd ask anyways. Which one is the correct measurement?

Wolf-

Measured from two kits... 7 5/16th. The 7.25" was the closest, but it is 1/16th longer than that.

Thanks for checking actual kits and clearing that up, Earl.
