Default Physical Dimensions of Furuno 1933C/NT Antenna & Gearbox

I need the physical dimensions of the Furuno 3.5 ft open array antenna that is used with the 1933C/NT radar. I have the height, length and width from the units when they are bolted together, but i need the measurements of each when they are apart. I have some of the dimensions for each from the brochures and manuals, but i need the height of the gearbox without the antenna. Basically, if someone has this unit and could just measure the height and depth of the array antenna, i could use the info i have to figure out the rest.
The part number for the Antenna is XN10A/3.5 and the gearbox is RSB0070-064.

I know this sound wierd and unimportant, but it is for the Mechanical Engineers I work with to use for topside modeling. This is to figure out mast loading & ships stability on a 140 ft Coast Guard Vessel. I have been in contact with Furuno, but I need the info ASAP, but if someone has this on thier boat and could just take a quick measurement for me i would greatly appreciate it.

Here is a link to the asset (FRC/WPC) if anyone is interested, there are links to other assets as well. I work on all surface assets mostly, and a little bit in the air as well. The 123 has a pretty cool video of the Stern Launch Ramp in use.

All of those that are up to no good off the shores of the US should enjoy it while they can, once these boats hit the water its gonna be a lot harder to make a living.

I looked through my operators, installation, and other manuals. All I could was the aggregate measurements. If I was down at the coast I could measure it for you but the best bet may be Furuno customer service. I'd like to help support the USCG.

I can tell you from cleaning the boat fairly requently that the array sits on a flange that comes out of the gearbox and is held on with 4 bolts (IIRC). It is very close to 5" in height, I'd guess not more then 1/3" +/-.
The array is fairly narrow and slopes downin back. Looking at one of the ends I'd guess it is 4-5 wide.

If need some pix just PM me. Perhaps you can tell from my boat.
