Question for Honda Benly CD200 Owners

[Cosmonaut]

Hi there, this is my first post on this forum.

I'm rebuilding a CD 200 that had a rotten swing arm, and didn't have much luck finding a replacement, so I found a near-mint CM200 swing arm on eBay from the US. I plan to braze on the drive side rear fork end from the Benly which is bigger, and there are a few small other weld-ons to cut off or braze on. I am a professional brazer and bicycle frame builder. The only thing I forgot to do before I cut the fork end off the Benly arm was to measure the rear spacing between the rear fork ends. I know, I'm pretty embarrassed about that! Can anyone measure the spacing on their bike and let me know please?
Many thanks in advance.

Matt

Could you not build up the wheel/axle assy outside of the frame and measure that?

I thought of that but I wanted to be sure I took everything into account such as chain tensioners/tugs, etc and I'm not 100% sure that the previous owner left the spacers untampered with judging by the state of the rest of the bodges on the bike.

I'm looking for the measurement between the inside of the rear fork end faces.

Thanks

I'm sure I've got a spare swing arm for the cd200
