Rick,

I spoke with the owner of the base yesterday and he believes it is 30 inches in diameter, so it very well may work for you.  I am going to give you his number and email address and you can work with him on this directly.  Lots of luck and the engine really looks nice.

The gentleman's name is John Titterington and his cell number is 218/820-2893 and his email address is jands622 at brainerd.net
