Our max hole spacing is 104 mm, so I can say 100% that it will not work on our top plate. Sorry guys.
    Actually the DSMC TACTICAL TOP HANDLE fits on VF top plate. See attached.
    The handle is much smaller than it looks. I really like this top handle design.

    The only drawback is it eliminates and option of putting rods on the top, it also covers the 3/8" holes on the top plate. Otherwise its a great alternative top handle for compact configurations. Im going to order a few more of these.

    EDIT:
    FYI- It does not work on the x top plate. The spacing is slightly off.

    Ok, I stand corrected :) I didn't notice that Red offset the rear holes on their top plate by 4.5mm so we are only off by .025" which is probably ok with the tolerances of the holes for the screws.

    That is great that it works on the VF plate. I like the simplicity of that handle.

    Greg:
    I noticed in your pic that you have a swat rail mounted off the side of the top plate. In this configuration, could you use the sliding top handle like a side handle, or is there not enough clearance between it and the SSD module to make it usable? I was looking for a low-profile side handle solution and was curious if this might work.
