In a straight line, from the nearest side of the round hole, 271mm.
From the same point to the far end of the slot,310mm. The slot from end to end is 41mm long. The top slot is 10mm further in than the pin slots, and the bottom edges of the channel is chamfered.
You have a terminal disease! (which means you usually die with it)
On that cheerful note.... Welcome aboard!

well done fella's that's another little piece of history that will be restored to it's former glory, i'll give you just one word of advice. if the old guy that sold the carrier to you has anymore parts, no matter how small grab them while you can even if you don't need them, somebody will and parts swapping is the currency of restoration and not only that but you'll be helping somebody else with their resto which is what it's all about.

all the best

Thanks very much for the encouragement. Like I told one of the MLU'ers out there - it's going to be fun dusting off some of the old high school industrial arts skills and learning new ones (looking forward to riveting). Partly because it's so close to November 11th, it feels kinda important to be fixing something like our UC - an honest to goodness piece of history. Speaking of which, I have gone back and had a good visit with the gent who owned it and found...

Cheers,
Mike
