What are the dimensions, angles of a Gibson Les Paul standard pots cavity?
I am working on building a prewired set of pots and want to mount them on a piece of plastic that can drop into the cavity of a standard les paul. I have been looking for the dimensions and found this image:
But the image is too blurry to make out what the measurements say. If someone knows or can provide the distances between each shaft hole, and the diameter of the round bored out cavity one of the four pots get installed in, I can figure out the necessary angles from there.

Schemtics are tricky, there's 3 things you can do:
This link contains many blue prints of a Gibson Les Paul. There are no measurements on each axis. However, on each PDF there is a scale. Use the scale as a reference point, print out the diagrams and use a ruler to get exact sizing. Easy!
This photo contains scaling for the cavity and POT's however the radius of the POT's must be taken into consideration as seen here.
Try emailing Gibson for shcemtics, there shouldn't be any issues (worth a shot).
When you're making your pre-wired kit, make sure to solder all the cables off the POT's into the centre of cavity so that the cables are not facing the wood of the cavity which will cause placement issues. Common and silly mistake that I learnt the hard way.
