sure I'd replied to this last night......   :-X
I've two sets .

First set, OEM .. distance between centres of mounting holes = 320mm

Second set, aftermarket ... distance between centres of mounting holes = 315mm

Dealers generally uote them as 13 inches or 325mm .. but dont specify between where and where.

For a definitive you could try Steve at http://www.bike-revival.co.uk/exp.html. He's easy enough to yak to on the phone

From aged memory the 750 originals were about 1 inch longer than the 500 but Girling replacements were all the same
