16/42 dimension help?

[Greg Bender]

I'm in work and will be doing some fabbing for my toolrest on my jet and was wondering if somebody with a 16/42 could measure up from the top of there banjo to the center line of the spindle and let me know what that dimension is.I started some of those popular tool rest's and I think I made them too tall and need to cut them down.I just want to make sure I'm in the ballpark.Last day of work till January so need to get it done today.Thanx in advance,
Greg

Here are some photos. From the lower part of the banjo to the center of the spindle is 6" and from the upper part is 4". Parallax makes them look a little off.

I just measured the large tool rest that came with my lathe and from the bottom of the post to the top of the rest is very close to 6".

Merry Christmas and enjoy your holidays!
