My other ride is a C-130J

Anyone have the formula for hexagonal packing of circles in a rectangle?
Actually this is a Porsche Technical question.
Do any math gurus know How many 7/32" circles can be hexagonally packed into a 2" x 6" rectangle? Or better yet, does anyone have a link to an online calculator to figure this problem out? Below you will find a photo which may help explain my query.  Thanks for your help

It looks like 247? Calculated it as 15 rows of 9, separated by 14 rows of 8.

Sorry, math was wrong - it is 16 rows of 9, separated by 15 rows of 8, adding up to 291 in total.

Circles within Rectangles
265 per above site (full circles only) - but your dimensions are English- I imagine that sticker is actual dimensioned in the metric world - do I don't know how accurate your 7/32 circle measurement is.

It used to be that you could get replacement VIN stickers. Can you still get them?

Disclaimer: I have no financial relationship/association with this individual.
There is an eBay seller/Pelican member from Poland who will replicate the door jamb sticker. I hesitate to call it a Vin Sticker, though the Vin is on it. He customizes it for each buyer. Detail is pretty good, he even includes the perforated holes in the sticker. (The ones I am trying to recreate) Price around one hundred ish. Seller's name is CarBone. He actually has a running thread on the 911 for sale side. Many Pelicans have used his products.

We used to buy ours at the dealer. I'm guessing that's not possible if they are making reproduction stickers.
