NOT to nitpick, but I suggest to keep measurments as they were designed.
The Renesis being a Japanese piece of pride this would make (11 7/8"  =
301.625 mm) a very odd measure.
Not having a Renesis ( or any other Rotary for that matter) available, I
can't really stomp on it, but I doubt that the Mazda Engineers put a measure
like that in the engine. It is most likely something like 300 mm or 305 mm -
worst case any full mm in between...... to get an odd measure in a place
like this (reference line) is inviting trouble down the road....
I understand your dislike of metric (the metric world has it even harder
with standard...), but if you mix the 2 measuring systems it should occur on
a well defined line. In your case it would be the Conversion Concept mount.
Do yourself a favor and get a set of calipers in metric (or some that have
both measurements on it).
