OK, silly question. I've been using the specs from my old UL Ultra manual for home made accessories, and all that gave was the hole diameter, 3.5 inches. Is there a spec for the thickness of whatever you're mounting to, i.e. a 1/8 inch raised lip? And, in light of the newer attachment systems like on Einstein, is 3.5 inches still the "optimal" diameter? |

Yes, 3.5" diameter is still the standard, and lip thickness from 1/8" to 1/4" are optimal. Some of our accessories accidentally strayed well beyond the 1/4" mark and this caused the need for reshaping of current Einstein holding fingers to properly hold those . . . . particularly the 22" beauty dish. |

Thank you greatly. I'm going to start adding 1/8 inch thick reinforcing rings to my thinner accessories. |

Paul, I just ordered a 22" dish, and I have a very early E640. How far along are the newer versions as far as upgrading an early model? Brian |

They are shipping now, but there is a backlog. Customer Service can give you a time estimate. |
