    Have decided to go with an original handle on my as purchased smoothie deck lid. Need to know the exact dimension from the lower trailing edge to the centerline of the hole for the handle. Thanks in advance.

    Up from the bottom edge 1 and 5/8" to center of a 7/8 " Dia. hole.

    There are also 3 --1/8" by 1/8" (approx.) square cut outs at 9, 12 and 3 o'clock off the outside edge of the 7/8" hole ( locks the mechanism in place along with a washer on the inside that has one small tab on the side.)

  3. Can you tell the location by looking at the inner skin? It should have a hole in it even if the outer skin was filled.

    Its a new smoothie repop$$$ from Brookville. there is a 1/16 hole in the liner at about that location but not sure what it was.
     
  6. You should be able to calculate the dimension if you have the lock assembly.

    Measure twice ( or more), cut once!! ( especially on a $600. deck lid!)

    Good luck with it.
