That 4.5" is what Keith's ended up being, but the true test is to mount the arm and swing it up to the frame - where it lands it lands. I would be curious to see what your measurement is - your arms are identical to Keith's so 4.5 should be close.
I didn't like the zerk on the bottom either - but like Keith already said - considering the movement we were really limited as to where it could go and still easily accessible for greasing. As much as you'd like to say "I'll drop my arm and grease it once a year" if it were on the top side, I bet it'd get forgotten about - or at least I would forget about it.
Keep up the good work and keep teasing us with pictures! :rebel:
