Outside width is 6 5/8". This measurement was taken 3" back from the most forward part of cowl.

I used an O.S. 1.20AX on mine, so I had to cut a big ol' hole in her side.

Yep, Bisson Pitt's style.

All of my O.S. 1.20AX's seem to get more power as they age. :o

RE: Larger Revolver

No need for a fabrication specialty metal shop. Both Home Depot and Lowe’s carry 1/8" thick by 1 1/2” wide 90 degree aluminum angle to reinforce the landing gear.:D
