Can anyone give me the diameter of the old 3 hole derby cover that was used on EVO's. I'm trying to build something and one of those might work to start with.

Oh man, that can't be good. I've never been refered to as an old timer before, although I have had my Evo for 20 years and I ain't even 50. I better find a mirror.

This OLD TIMER hobbled out to the shop (using my orange and black walker) and measured the cover from my 84 EVO - 6 & 5/16", stopped on the way back in for a **** (as I couldn't wait for the middle of the night) and finally made it back to my new fangled computor. Hope that helps you out Sonny.....................

I have an Evo, but my old bones won't let me bend over to measure it and my old eyes wouldn't let me see it anyways.
