template for BIX

imatation · 08-13-2002, 02:46 PM

Does anyone have a template for a BIX? Im trying to figure out how to draw the shape and size of the opening on the back of the BIX onto a piece of sheet metal it will be mounted on, which is why a template would be very useful. Thanks.

i found a cd jewel case to be not far off... i'll measure the hole i cut in a mo.

13cm wide, 12cm high. my BIX fits prefectly, with the barbs on the side, so if you were mounting it with the barbs top or bottom, it would be 13cm high and 12cm wide.

Can't oblige you with a template, but here are the exact measurements:

The grille opening of the BIX is a rectangle of 119mm x 112mm. The fan mounting holes are 3mm wide and spaced in a square pattern, 104mm apart, to correspond with fan mounting holes. To accomodate their location which is in effect within the aforementioned rectangle, bits of metal were left in the corners.

Hope this helps.
