Call it 3.56 and that is an actual reasonable dimension for this sort of measurement.
And the pan and shovel chain lines are in the same place, which makes mixing and matching these old parts easy.

H-D dimensioned the frame and chassis blueprints with decimal figures, to two decimal places for almost all dimensions. They did not use fractional dimensions, even though many of the decimal dimensions are equivalent to common fractions.
My only point was that accuracy to three or four decimal places is not needed or wanted for frame and chassis dimensions. Sorry, this is a sore point for me, the result of some engineering school, and a good bit of training in blueprint reading (and drawing) and a lot of practical time with blueprints in machine shops.
