Info needed for Musicmaster build

I'm doing a Telecaster Thinline with a vintage 24" scale Musicmaster neck. Any idea what string spread is correct at the bridge?

put a 24" neck on a tele body and measure where the bridge needs to be, 12" from the 12th fret is where the saddles should be]

I've got that covered. What I'm asking about is string spread......distance between high E - low E. It's occurred to me that I didn't take this into account when I selected a bridge, and knowing what variations exist in MIA-MIM-MIJ Fender instruments even if they're all 25 1/2" scale, I wondered if a 24" scale Fender might be narrower than standard.
