Losmandy Titan help please

I have titan on order (probably August or a bit later) and am re-emgineering my Obs and the pier it will sit on. I really need some basic measurements though and would be grateful to any Titan owner out there who could run a tape measure across it.
I have a great pier that I will need to lower but the question is "how much" and this will depend on the working height of a Titan in the polar position. So first and foremost, I'd appreciate the height from the mount base (as it would be sitting on a pier adjustment plate) to the middle of the saddle. Second, the distance from the mid-point of the saddle to the RA axis and finally, from the RA axis to the end of the counterweight bar at full extension.
Thanks in anticipation folks.
Peter.
