    Hi I am having a custom adapter made to bolt to my AO-8T but I cant find the specs for the bolt holes anywhere. Anybody know the pattern as well as the bolt size/thread?

    Thanks,
    Sean

    Looks like the cover accepts four 4-40 cap screws on 2.157" spacing.

    Thats what I was thinking but upon measuring its more like 1.875" and my 2.157" adapters dont fit.
