Not to rock the boat here...but 11-1/8" does not seem possible to me. If you look at the pictures it's clearly way more than 11".

Is that a type-o Mike?

Good catch! It didn't even cross my mind, but come to think of it 11-1/8" does sound a little short. I would have been at the garage scratching my head sayin' what??. :lol:
