I have my tanks off right now and could measure my frame for you, but I am not sure what you are looking for. Do you have a frame that you could post a picture and point? Or a diagram? Three mounting points for the tanks to the frame.

I could get if for you this weekend with some direction.

OK, we have three mounting holes on the frame, front top, front bottom and rear. The three dimensions below created a triangle.

rear to front top = 19-1/4"
rear to front bottom = 15-5/8"
front top to front bottom = 10-5/16"
