Hi Paul - I'll measure my adapter plate tomorrow and let you know.

Bad news!

Tonight I did something I've never done before - I "hit" another car. And it was the ForkenSwift I hit.

I was taking my nephews snowboarding at a local hill in my brother's van, and I misjudged how much room I had to get by the FS. Scraped the side of the van on the back corner of the car. Damaged both.

Surprisingly, the FS seemed to get the worst of it - I "beveled" the formerly round corner of the hatchback and cracked the tail light. The van just seems to have some deep scuffs above the rear wheel arch.

Nothing that can't be fixed, but my until now unblemished record can't be buffed, bondo'd & repainted!
