I mention the hole center so we will start speaking the same language. The driller needs the hole center, for instance you say I want the hole 2 3/4" down from the top of the tank, that is where it will be centered 2 3/4" down from the top of the tank. To the edge of the hole could easily get lost in the shuffle, even with a drawing, in the life and times of an LFS--or a rather busy glass shop for that matter. Implausible? Perhaps, nitpicking probably....

The hole center will be 3.625" from the top. In the range I presented (3.25" - 4.25") before. I gave a reason I would put them down at 4.25", though how significant it is, is another matter. Should not be a problem. What I am wondering is why you came up with an odd number, after I spoon fed you the answer

...I know there is a nit to be made about anything...[/QUOTE]

Of course.
