Manfrotto 400 Geared Head Quick Release Plate dimensions
Hello. First post. I have a Manfrotto 400 Geared head coming my way and have been trying to find the diameter of the top of the quick release plates but have found differing numbers. I found 2.95" twice and was hoping someone with a plate could give me its dimensions. I want to mill a conical shaped adapter going from the top of the quick release plate to a 1.5" diameter threaded adapter that screws into the bottom of my 19 lb. searchlight. Any help will be appreciated, especially dimensions taken with a caliper if possible.

No, not RC4's. These are round and different specs say differing diameters from about 2.75" to 2.95". I think they are unique to this specific Manfrotto 400 head. I'm looking for the largest diameter of the top of the plate, where the 3/8" stud is. I'm being picky in that I would like the measurement in thousandths of an inch only because I have a lathe and will cut my conical adapter to exactly match the plate. Another member gave me a 3" diameter.
