Measurments for the TQ

[G-LOC]

I know, someone asking someone else to do the work again, but you guys are lucky you have a TQ and I don't yet. I'm building a pit where the TQ will be slighty recessed into a panel. I've researched the net and found measurments from 8 inch width and 5 inch depth and another site that says 10 inch width and different depth and height measurments.

I would appreciate if someone could give me: Width side to side, Depth from front to back not including the buttons and the Height from the clamp screw to the top of the base then from the clamp screw to the top of the levers. Thanks and hopefully I can return the favor by measuring something for someone else some day. :blink:

So first the complication. The sides are not perfectly at a right angle to the surface that it would be mounted to. It is slightly pinched at the top and bottom, with the middle part extending out just a little. Think of this shape <>, but not nearly as dramtic as that. It's very slight, very slight; but enough to make a difference. With that, I've given measurements for the bottom of the unit and then the middle. I guess you could figure out the slope by doing rise-over-run calculations, but I wanted to give you both so that when you make your recess, you take that into account.

width bottom: 7 7/8"
width middle: pretty much an even 8"


depth bottom: 4 6/8"
depth middle: pretty much an even 5"
switches extend about 0 5/8"


height from the little foot that the screw goes into to top of base: 3 6/8"
height from the little foot that the screw goes into to top of levers at their max upright: 6 5/8"
Important to note that the little foot at the front of the unit extends down from the bottom of the rest of it. That's the part that the screws go into. That foot extents 5/8". So to get an idea of what the height would be for the rest of the unit behind those feet, subtract 5/8" from my figures. Just sitting on a flat surface without clamps, the unit would be slightly canted back because of those feet.

I don't have any calipers so I'm just doing this with a tape measure. Your milage may vary slightly.

Good luck with your project.

Thanks for these measurments, never suspected the slope but now that I look at a photo it's there plain as day. It's only being recessed to a line about two inches below the buttons. Dude you're one of the many who make these forums rock! :thumbsup:
