How did you come up with that number as one of the
mounting points on the OEM bar is at an angle...
Is that the long side or the short side or inbetween
the two measurments?

Sorry, I deal in tenths of thousandths daily, except Sunday...

Trigonometry. Or you can use the good 'ole middle school Pythagorean equation.
Of course, you have to know how high above the other lower mount hole the upper one is.
