Stig,

I have found data that suggest the venerable Official Workshop Manual is in
error in this measurement.  It does indeed list 5.15 inches for the MkI,
MkIA 260, and 5.43 inches for the MkII 289.

My information says the "correct measurements" should have been 4.875
inches for the MkI/IA, and 5.1 inches for the MkII.

Hope this helps.

Steve
