I measured my original top bow and got 63.75 cm (=25.09") from the center of the rivet to the center of the hole, thereby confirming Shack's data. Going the other direction, I measured 17 cm (=6.692") from the center of the hole to the centerline of the section of top bow that is horizontal when in use. Drill on! David
