I'm looking for the exact official distances between centres for all of the wheels in a 2892 or 2892-A2?



Strangely, there is nothing on the internet. I've been looking for months. My requests for info here are coming up at the top of google searches. It would be good to provide the answer on my posts so anyone else looking will find them.



Why don't you just measure one?
I'd like to get the exact official distances rather than measure them. Theres is too much room for error in measuring.

Why do I need them?
Because I'd like to build my own movement and realistically, I'm not in a position to make the gears, balance, pivot or any of the annoying little things. So I will be pulling them from a 2892 and basically making the plates...

That sounds like an awful project, why would you want to do that?
I think it will be interesting and fun.

It's going to be hard, how are you going to get the precision?
It should be fine. I'm up for a challenge, I have a CNC mill which is accurate to 0.015mm and I have 21 years experience with 3d software.
