I'm in the final stages of creating my 3D printed version of the BGM-100. I'm missing a couple of dimensions that I'm hoping another BGM-100 user can provide. The directions provide the distance from the center of the wheel to the back of the mounting hardware. But I can't find the depth of the mounting hardware front-to-back. Could someone please provide that in metric? Also, could someone please measure the distance from the center of the rod holes to the center of the stone? I will be using an 8" stone, so that would probably be the best. BTW, I'm not trying to knock off or sell a competing version. I just like the challenging of creating simple jigs in Fusion 360 and printing. Keeps my brain from atrofying!

Thanks in advance.
 
I actually have a BGM-100 and used it for years but I recently switched to a varigrind for my bowl gouges and a Stuart Baty Universal Grinding Platform. It's for sale if anyone's interested. (I have both the scraper platform and the Bowl gouge attachment.
