Need Help - Brushy Mountain 8 Frame Equipment

I need to build some slatted racks for a friend that is starting out with 8 frame equipment from Brushy. Can someone with Brushy 8 frame equipment give me the outside dimensions of their hive body? I know different Mfg have different dimensions for their 8 frame stuff, so I'm hoping someone has the Brushy stuff and can take a measurement for me.
thanks...

I have some, the medium super measures 13 11/16 and 19 7/8
The company told me they were 14 x 20 when I first asked them about their size but now that I am measuring them they are clearly slightly smaller.
I bought my 8 frame slatted racks from better bee and they are slightly bigger than my supers, about an 1/8 of an inch on either side.

When making the racks use doweling instead of slats, with will work better.

Thanks everyone. I built them 13 11/16" so they should be fine. I just didn't want them to be way off.
