What's the spaccing in mm on an SKB 5?

I have both 19mm 5 string basses and a 17mm & I wondered what the standard spacing would be on an SKB5?

Great,

Thanks Gard.

I thought it looked somewhere between my 19mm MTD & 17mm Spector

Molan, happy to help out.

Dark, yes, there is a bit of adjustability, but you can only go so far with it, as the strings need to stay on the fingerboard!

Gard - same for the SKB3006? I'm thinking about re-fitting my SKB2006 with the same bridge, but I wanted to check the spacing first.

I guess I could have got the micrometer out, but it's sorta buried at the moment.
