Default Luff tape size

Hey everybody, it's me again.

How can I know for sure what size of luff tape my furler uses?

I think its number 6, but no positive proof.

It an older Harken 2-1851. Went to their site but seems they only want to show the new models.

I'm looking in an older catalog and it's got the 1851 as a Stays'l furler (no foil) but elsewhere it does confirm a Unit 2 as a #6 luff tape. Actually it's showing with the MX III's a #6 tape from a 00AL up to a 3.5.
