Unfortunately not every CM is 41.3mm wide.
Mine is 42.0 - 2,5 years old purchased in UK
and it was discussed here that various CM has different width.
So your advice is perfectly fine if you replace 41.3 by X
and every one can make their own calculation based on
their own particular CM unit

Cheers
Tom
