1970 Fiber Optics

Can someone tell me the diameter of the fiber optic cable that monitors the front headlights on a 70 Corvette. Their are two different sizes in the whole system. I believe the headlights use the smaller type.
Thanks

the parts vendors show only one size in their repair kits but do not list the diameter.

So all 4 FO are around 3MM. Then I wouid say that is the larger FO. 69vette said that there are the two different sizes. www.lectriclimited.com is selling what they say are correct. If you search 1970 Corvette VRK6871FOH the picture looks like two different sizes. The Tech guy can't tell me that but he said they are correct for the application. The picture sure looks like different sizes. Please everyone check this out. They list three FO furrules. Finally they are being made. Thanks for all the help.
