Default 78mm FAST Throttle body

Anybody have one they can measure the OD of the inlet? Like where the bellows would attach, trying to determine what size silicone connectors to get, and my TB is 1000 miles away.

not 100% but that is about the below you would get for a stock tb which is 3mm smaller . a 3.5 bellow will stretch if need be or can tighten it down . i run a 4" with my 90mm now and have a little room but it is all good . still run a stock maf on the other side . just have to tighten down the screw clamp a bit more .

I was hoping someone with one of these TB's could measure the OD of the TB to be exactly sure just in case the flange was a lot bigger than stock or something.
