Inside dia. of 6100 mounting bracket?

I just got a great deal on a used 6100, but unfortunately it didn't come with any of the mounting hardware. Does anyone know the inner diameter of the hole on the small bracket (pictured below)? Mine is in my tank, securely jury-rigged in place -- I'm reluctant to pull it out since I'm not sure I'll be able to get it back in as securely again... at least until I get a proper DIY bracket made :)

Many thanks!
 
By the time you are finish with the DIY mounting bracket, you will spent more money then purchase one from Tunze. Im not sure the exact measurement but it will fit 3/8" screw or you can use the wavysea tunze holder.
 
I've for more than enough scrap acrylic plus the magnet mounts from the Koralia 3s that I replaced with the 6100, so cost isn't a problem -- thanks for the info, I'll put it to good use :)
 
If you have hole on your euro brace or if you have anytype of bracing in your tank, i can show you another trict :D. It will cost way less, less time consuming, no acrylic work etc...
 
I think I've done something similar to what you're suggesting as a temporary fix -- I'm coming down through a back-corner hole in the eurobracing with a length of threaded nylon rod. The rod is secured to the eurobracing with a couple of washers and nylon nuts, and to the 6100 with nylon nuts. It works okay, except it allows too much motion, and I want to bring the 6100 forward to the side mid-point of the tank. I could drill a hole to secure it, but the alst time I did something similar I had acrylic shavings floating around for a week ;)

Also, using the magnets will give me a lot of flexibility for placement and direction.
