I can take measurements and send pics from my 30 MK I tomorrow. I got stressed about fore-and-aft positioning of my mast step (wood block) and mast box (metal “pan”) when I rebuilt my mast step supports years ago. I wrote up that project, with pictures, and put the story on my Google Drive, but I don’t have the link handy right now.
