Default Acura Vigor Distributor cap

Hi
Is there someone with Acura Vigor here?

It would be very nice if someone could measure this for me

Its the thickness I'm most interested in. It doesn't have to be acurate. Just if it is 4,5 or 6cm thick.

I need this because I'm building a 5syl fwd engine in a car that had 4syl rwd.
And when I turn the 5syl to use with rwd the distributor goes in the firewall.
And then I found the Vigor distributor that will fit well. I have ordered one but it's still a week until it comes.

It's really a bitch to get to lol.
I'd work on it in two weeks time, so I might do it by then.

Tanks a lot for answering. I had hoped it was a litttle smaller.
Maybe its possible to make it smaller. It would be nice if I could take it off without lifting the whole engine out.

Maybe its possible to cut it like the red lines?
If you have the distance between the lilac lines it will help very mutch since I get the rotor in a couple of days. And then I can begin on the engine mounts. They were out of stock for the distributor I first ordered but another brand is on the way now.
I live in Norway and there is no Acuras around here. So I had to order it from US.

I just did a rotor/cap/plug job on my 92 Vig. Cap is held in by 3 screws...I used a very small screwdriver, and then an allen wrench type deal with screw bits on the end. The bottom screw is the hardest to get to. I recommend removing the battery...it'll clear some space to get your arm in there. Also, I had to dremel the screws off of the rotor and buy new screws and lock washers...PITA. Thought it would be quick....hell no, took me 6 hours.
