    I'll update with a picture of the bracket once I incorporate the changes that I'm using these measurements for.
    Here's the pic with the features shown and the corresponding dimensions I needed to locate them.

    The 1/4 x 1 1/4 is the recess for the spindle lock button clearance.

    The 1 1/2 & 5/8 dimensions are for the retainer that keeps the polisher from sliding out of the bracket.

    And here's some pics of everything complete.

    Hopefully with your measurements, the empty space for the GR3 is going to fit like a glove. If not I may have to do some minor mods when the time comes. It should be ok but there's nothing like having the real thing in your hand when building a custom fit piece.

    Thanks again for providing the measurements... I couldn't finish without them and I was going crazy being so close, yet unable, to finish.

    Got the GR3 on Friday so here is a pic with all of my polishers stored on the wall rack.

    I did have to make two minor mods to the GR3 bracket but I kind of expected that might be the case. I had to move the retainer a little over 1/8". The 1 1/2" dimension actually needed to be 1 5/8" - 1 11/16". No big deal - I just opened up the slot and made a shim/spacer to take up the slack and relocate the retainer. Then I had to add the same amount to the back of the bracket to provide clearance between the backboard and the backing plate of the GR3.

    Now I'm going out to the garage to play with the new polishers and some Meg's D166 on one of my bikes.
