I have a few 5.25 floppies from when they were made with programs without any notches, Ide like to know where the notch has to be as I know it has to be in an exact place but I don't have an old one with a notch to compare it.

I'm running some tests to see if my drives can read and write and if the heads are out of alignment, can someone tell me the location in millimetres from the edges, thank you.

I presume you don't have access to an existing notched floppy to measure, so have a look here for a diagram with imperial measurements.
