Thank you. I am also trying to find what radius the 000-28 has for the back.

Interesting. I read somewhere (back before I had a radius dish) that Martin uses a 16' back radius for a 000 sized body and a 20' back radius for a dreadnaught sized body. I ended up with a 16' radius dish and planned to use it on both size bodies. Hardly any difference between the two, but that's what I understood at the time.
