3/4 would generally be about 150 mm wide from outside of each foot.

Perhaps. The Despiau site is a good place to look at a number of different styles and sizes. It is paramount that you get the distance between the legs just right. One foot must land so that the leg is right over the bass bar. It's not going to be the same on every 3/4 bass. Luscombe violins is a good retail source for Despiau bridges. Are you carving/fitting the bridge yourself?

Why not have the luthier supply the bridge?
