Telrad size question

[Steve-G]

Hi Folks, could someone who has a Telrad handy please tell me the width of the beast? I don't need to know the size of the base as I wouldn't be using it. Just need the physical width of the main body itself. I've seen a few sizes quoted on various websites but really need the exact measurement as it's crucial to my mounting plan. Thanks in advance.

Length 21.3 cm
Width: 4.7 cm
Height: 12.7cm (on Base)

Thanks, Ruud, I'd seen that earlier which is what prompted me to ask the question. Other sites have it as being 45mm wide. I know its only a 2mm difference but it's important.

Ah, I see. How much room do you have for it?

I was thinking about mounting one on the top puck of my SkyTee-2 mount. The jaws of the clamp open to a max of 48mm so I need to be sure of the Telrad width.
