Hi all bit of urgent help needed? Can any one tell me the size gap of the two holes in this picture and possibly the size of the holes them selves or better yet a ruler on the part and a pic? Many many thanks in advance for your help

I believe the distance between the holes is 8 cm, center of hole to center of hole. As for the holes themselves, my standard #2 phillips head screwdriver fits it, brut i don't know the official size. My Motion Pro clutch holding tool does not fit the holes.

This particular tool might though, because it as two sides.

I think there were some members who actually made their own holding tool using wood and some sawed off nails.

...so I did get it right! My brain is still working! Yah! Man, I thought getting old was for everyone else, but as I get older I find that I am losing all sorts of stuff. The other day I went down to the basement for something. Then I forgot why I was there.

I used the metric system at work and in college, but it was not the first type of measurement that I learned in life, and it is generally not used daily here in the United States. I guess my brain is reverting back to its default settings.

I do have one excuse though. My dog has started having seizures and is bumping into walls and falling over. At night he can't make it to the dog door to go out, so I have been on 24 hour watch for him. It gets exhausting.

Depending on what type of computer you are using, there are resizing apps in most of the photo editing programs. I use the crop part only to remove parts I don't think are necessary. Then I use the resize to set the pictures to something close to 800 x 600. That will be well within what is allowed on this forum.

If you post a link you have to make sure that it is public so that we can view it.
