Added an image of the part dimensioned the variables described for further clarification.
I needed to make a nut trap that would fit with my customized tool holder I am designing to fit a Mastergrip rotary tool I bought at Costco years ago, so I decided to make this part parametric.
Spacing for my tool holder is 53mm distance between holes.
I made a parametric drill jig that will help you drill holes to use with this nut trap. Here is the link to that part: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:910707

You can also open this with Thingiverse Customizer.
Here are the links I used to show me how to get this to work in the customizer.
