4 7/8" ... If you are mounting in wood, I would cut 4 3/4 and sand for a snug fit.

I don't know. I used it to replace one that was older than me and rotting away. It fit in the pre existing hole. Sorry.

The bolt (screw) circle is 11 5/8" so the hole diameter should be about 1/2" smaller than that or NO BIGGER THAN 11 1/8" otherwise the screws will have nothing to screw into. You can probably get away with using only 4 screws at 12-3-6 and 9 O'Clock. That's what I did.

I did mine a .3" hole and then files edges a bit. To make sure it was a snug fit so it won't. Wiggle loose in the future too big. Or just right of a hole. Was my biggest fear.

You would cut the square holes before or after Sheetrock is up. The boxes are not adapted to mount to the studs. They are meant primarily for existing wall between studs.

they have 4 hooks on the end that a screw could be placed through. It would need to align with a wood stud on the other side of the sheet rock

Hello Jim B. I drilled a 3/4" hole in a scrap of pine. The tip of the half round goes in however, it would be unsatisfactory for what you are doing. You might think about the round file in this set.

Sorry I don't have the hole measurements. now (its in storage and its snowing out) I used it for a spare on my boat trailer and it fit fine.

I think they are 5/64 or size 1 but I trashed the screws because they were to short to attach to the stud behind the sheetrock. I used 2 inch wood screws. hope this helps.

yes, you'll have to drill the current 3/8" holes out to 1/2". it took me more time to find and chuck up my bit than to drill the holes.

This product has 2 gang boxes, and they are designed to install in existing walls with 4" cavities. You can install before hanging the sheetrock, but you don't have to. If you have lathe & plaster, then the thickness will be greater, but tabs will extend out enough to grab and hold. Just cut the opening and fit (make sure that there is enough depth for unit to fit, otherwise, you will need to cut as much off the back of the box to accommodate it). This is a great product, and it worked very well for me. I am sure you too will like the end result.

the man I hired took old one out and put new one in the same hole. He gave me measurements to buy it. Sorry I don't remember the size.

You will have to have someone bore out the existing hole to the 2 1/8" diameter. Bore kits are available at any big box store

If you have a clay type soil (this doesn't work in sand or rocky soil) a hole larger than about 8 inches (which this ends up being) is more or less counter-productive...you don't want dug up (loosened) soil around your post. I loaned my out and can't get it back!
