Go with his measurements but not his arithmetic.  I forgot to take
away a *full* diameter from the outside measure to get the O.C.
distance.  So that is 3 1/2 x 2 inches, very sorry.

The bolts on mine are tapped right into the plate, so you can't ooch
them around to get a fit; they either fit or don't.  Bolts used were
UNF 1/2"-20 tpi.

Crawling on my belly in shame...
