Hi:

Thought I'd identified this as your #38-095, but after measuring again, I'm not sure. Mounting holes are definitely 3 7/8" spacing.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Just realized the angle of the dimensions pic has distorted the dimensions. Outer edge to outer edge is 4 9/16". Radiused "recess" dimension is 4 1/4".

I think the rest is pretty clear. Thanks again!

Got your email this morning saying you're still working on this, thanks.

I'm an idiot. Mounting holes are FOUR and 7/8", not 3 7/8". Looks like the only difference between this and your #38-095 is the 1/16" difference in the mounting dimension. That would be 1/32" per hole... I'm guessing the tolerances in the window frame aren't that tight. Your thoughts?

Going to be ordering a couple of 39-253s, as well. Sorry for the incorrect info initially!

Scratch that. 3 7/8" is correct. I'm old, I'm tired, and I'm working with a ruler that has 1" as the starting point.

I'm also highly embarrassed ;)

Again, let me know if the 1/16" (1/32" per hole) delta in the mounting dimension is meaningful. Thanks again.

Thanks for contacting us. I agree that our 38-095 is similar, but I think you may want to instead consider our 38-138 and 38-139. I personally think our 38-138 is a closer match, but the most important dimension is the projection of the fork. All the other important dimensions seem to be on point, too. See what you think.

Hi Dave:

Looks like #38-139 is the one. I'll get the order placed later today. Thanks for your help!
