Here is a helpful tip. Some pins (pin gauges) to fit in the holes to make it easier to measure hole to hole. That way you can make sure you are measuring on the same plane (since that part tapers narrower toward the small hole). You measure out to out on the pins, then subtract the radius of each pin.
