piano hinge hieroglyphics

Nowhere, that I can find, on page WIX-F11 or the firewall page, are the dimensions for the piano hinge (cowling mount) that rivets to the bottom of said firewall. It is referenced as a P-04-08 hinge half. Went to page P-04 only to find the same reference (-08).
Looking at the gaggle of hinge lengths for various installations, the -08 is called out for only the Jabiru engines. A VW is in our future. Still.......why do they call for an 08 on apparently all airframes on pg. F-11? I see a lot of pictures that show this hinge installed.........so someone has obviously broken the code.
Any info is good info.
