Notes

  • Listed: 3 holes, 5-7/16 in long, 1-5/8 in wide, 1/4 in thick, 9/16 in holes, depth 2-7/16 in (the listing's own label; the listing also contradicts itself on width, so treat as unconfirmed).
  • Z fittings and post bases (B279, B280, B281A families) show 3/4 in holes in the catalog, but the hole pattern per part number could not be matched, so nothing is published.

Questions

Does Xem have a strut post base file?

No: the hole pattern per part is not readable from the sources reachable.
