Engine Bay Measurement Needed

[socalsean]

Can someone with the engine removed from their W116 take a measurement for me? I need the inside to inside frame rail dimension, across the engine bay, in front and behind the front cross member. Thanks!

Do these help? (only got those in German)
All values are in metric units (mm).

Not really but I appreciate the effort.

The green lines are the measurements I need.

The only thing I can think of is to make a trammel. You should be able to get all of the measurements with it.

I don't need the measurement to be accurate to a fraction of an inch. No need for a trammel as I'm not trying to repair a damaged frame. I figured someone on this forum has their engine out and could use a tape measure to get the measurement I need. Thanks for the suggestion. That's a neat measuring device.
