2016 KTM 450 SXF/XCF Timbersled fit kit question

Trying to install a 2016 Timbersled ST on my 2016 450 XCF. The fit kit is on back order until at least christmas. If anyone can measure the rear spacer width Id appreciate it. Im going to make some spacers until my new for kit comes.

Looking for the measurements in yellow.

Thanks

Timbersled Fixed Strut Install Kit - KTM, Husky 2882676
Spacer Pack #13 2882613

I was able to obtain measurements from a nice forum member that gave me a call. He did say he used plastic calipers, his measurements look correct based on my math, so I trust them. Thanks man.
He measured the spacers
403 = .534
478 = .058
399 = .24
335 = .35
470 = .307

I measured
KTM engine = 4.64"
KTM swing arm spacers = 1.79" (same parts for right and left)
The KTM is built symmetrical based on my measurements. The swing arm frame gap on my bike was .05 wider on the right but that easily disappears when the axle is tightened.

TS frame gap = 4.97
TS frame 1.20" (left and right)
The TS frame was off a tiny bit to one side but I am going with the assumption they attempted to center it.

KTM center of sprocket to center of bike = 3.525"
Timbersled center of sprocket to center of kit = 3.654"
So the TS sprocket is .129 further from the centerline.

If the kit was centered on the bike the bushings would be
(4.97-4.64)/2 = 0.165 (quantity 2)
(1.79-1.2)-0.165 = 0.425 (quantity 2)

If you used the above spacers the sprocket would not align. You could easily build new jack shaft spacers to shift the sprocket the 0.129. You might also have to shave a little off the tensioner.

Timbersled chose to shift the kit to the right so the sprocket would be closer in alignment.

Sorry for all the info, I realize people just want numbers, but this is how my engineering mind works. I like good accurate info. I will attempt to correct any information if someone sees an error.

I think I am going to build my spacers so my kit is centered and offset the Timbersled sprocket accordingly.

i dont know 100% but i think I90 Motorsports in Issaquah, WA has one in stock. Call Remco in parts. He knows a lot about TS and what you need.
 
Thanks. I had called a few places that said they had them in stock and they were all for customers bikes.

I-90 did have one in stock so I ordered it. Should be here in 2-3 days. Thanks again.
 
I have a fit kit that I took off my 16 KTM 500 XC-W that attached a 15 TS w/fix strut.

I think they are the same and it would be for sale. ship tomorrow.
