RCBS Lube a Matic 2 Base mounting dimensions

[SheepDogAlpha]

Hello everyone! I am new to the site as of 15 min ago! I had a question that I was unable to acquire the answer via google. I am expecting my new lube a matic 2 in a few days. In preparation I wanted to have the materials ready to make a lube heater. My question is... What is the mounting width of the RCBS lube a matic 2? I am ready to purchase the aluminum plate, but I am unsure of how wide it needs to be. Thanks folks!

the holes are, if memory serves me correctly, 2 inches back (from the edge of your bench or whatever) and either 1 1/2 apart, or 1 7/8 inches apart, center to center. I'm fairly sure they are 1 7/8 inches center to center and that the base itself is an inch and a half wide. So yeah back 2 inches to center, and 1 7/8 center to center

Base is 3"W X 3 3/4" L. Hole spacing is 2" center back from edge of bench 2 3/4 ".

Thank you both! It sounds like a 4" wide and 12" long piece of aluminum would be perfect for the home made lube heater!
