Looks like the handle is 9.5 inches long... the distance from the center of the first stud to the tip of the handle is 1 inch and the distance from the edge of the hood to the center of the first hole is 2 7/8 inch. So the distance from the tip of the handle to the edge of the hood should be 1 7/8 or the metric equivalent 4.75 cm.
