    I don't have a measurement Aaron, even tho I have a Euro with the factory install I decided that there was no good place to measure from. Here's how I did it when installing that type tank in my other 72. I fit the tank into place and made sure all the sides were seated, I placed the front mount under the tank and after insuring I had it (the mount) sitting flat and exactly located to the tank, I marked the perimeter of the mount with tape. I removed the tank, positioned the mount via the tape, took a deep breath and drilled. Due to supreme technique and razor sharp measuring,,,,,or dumb luck!!!! it was right on.
