Default Headlight Adjustment Grid Please

A low beam headlight adjustment screw fell out on the driveway. So now I need to adjust the low beam headlight beams for my '81. I've got a shop manual and an aim. All that they show is measurements for an adjustment machine. I need some kind of measurements that I can measure out on my garage door and do some adjusting. Anybody have a picture or measurements that they can pm or email me?

I installed new adjusters, springs, and screws. Thanks to the information provided by MelWff I was able to set up a grid on my garage door and get the headlights adjusted correctly. Nobody has been flashing me so I guess I'm golden.
