Mounting Hole Dimensions for Blackbox MK2

@UIV Are the dimensions for the Blackbox MK2 mounting holes available somewhere? I have not found them in the documentation available, and have not been able to measure them accurately enough to fabricate a mounting plate. Customer Support referred me to the forums, apologies if this is not the correct board.

Thanks!

FYI, future tip for other things (if you can't get someone to provide official dimensions). Put it down on a piece of cardboard, hold firmly. Insert screws of right size thru holes and push down to make marks (an awl also works if you have one of the right dimension to poke a hole). Measure cardboard. Create to-scale drawing and print out on laser printer with crosshairs and circle just a little smaller than needed diameter. Print, and place item back on that print to verify

But as long as there's one flat side if you get a set of inexpensive digital calipers with both the "inside" and "outside" teeth, it's hard to go too far wrong. Measure max and min dimension between inner and outer edges of holes along an edge, and hole size, gives you plenty of data for 'error correction'.
