M3 Lip

so for all those wondering what the right measurement is, i believe it's 1162mm. i came to this conclusion based on the following:
saolin43 ordered 1160mm or 45.669" and noted that it's "about" 1/16" short on each side, or a total of 1/8". so 45.669" + 0.125" = 45.794" - this is on the high end...
thescreensavers ordered 1155.7mm or 45.5" and noted that it was 2/16" short on each side, or a total of 1/4". so 45.5" + 0.25" = 45.75"
screensaver's comment seemed more exact seeing how saolin said "about". either way, convert everything to mm and saolin is saying it should be 1163.18mm. and screensaver is saying it should be 1162.05mm. keep things simple and say 1162mm, which is 45.748" as opposed to the 45.75" (better to be conservative). so worst case you're off by 0.02" which isn't even noticeable.
hope that makes sense!

well i'm going to put in an order for 1162mm. ideally i'd like to have it sit closest to the edge as possible but if it turns out it's too long i'll either sand it down or move it inwards slightly. i'll be sure to post close-up photos of fitment/location and give exact measurements if there's any gap (hopefully not!)
So how did it all fit?
