Hey guys, I need to ask the collective minds here for a favor. I don't have the engine hoist here at the house to take the measurements, but I need the mounting dimensions for the front leg caster wheel. My hoist is currently about 100 mi away and requires a replacement wheel(caster) and I can not find the measurements for the 3.5" front caster's mounting, so I can order a replacement from Amazon or the likes. I know the mounting pad is 3.75"x 2.375" but don't know the hole spacing.

Quick look hovering the calipers to the same sides of the bolts is about 1.10x2.95. Kind of odd numbers so I would take that with a grain of salt. Maybe that's close to a standard size.

They are not "odd" numbers, they are 28mm x 75mm numbers. Just about everyone except the US uses the metric system including China.
BTW, 2.375" x 3.75" is about 60mm x 95mm.

I was thinking it might be metric but the base plate outer dimensions checked pretty much exactly 2.375x3.75 so I thought it would be standard. My quick conversion also came up with 28mm for the 1.1" dimension which doesn't seem to come up in the metric engineering I see but admittedly I don't do much with casters.
