What is the exact side hole spacing for the

Cabs? It's about, but not exactly, 1.25" It's probably a metric spacing?
Thanks!

Akurum definition
Akurum is the North American equivalent of FAKTUM; that is the fitted, frameless, component kitchen cabinet line, which when paired with door and drawer fronts as well as interior accessories makes up the full kitchen cabinet system.
The pitch of the holes in most Ikea cabinets (
ie
.: Aukurum, Pax, Besta, etc) is exactly 32 mm, which is a fraction of a hair short of 1.26", although 1.25" is a close enough approximation for simple, basic calculations.
It would make a difference over many holes. So is it 32 mm or 33 mm?
We have to make alternate holes in the upper corner unit (and in the shelves, but that is the easy part) since we had to mod it for our electrical panel.
A 24" tall cabinet measures 611 mm (according to the Ikea web site) and we know that it has a total of 19 holes (including invisible, "half-holes" 0 at the bottom and 19 at the top).
A base cabinet measures 771 mm (according to the Ikea web site) and we also know that it has a total of 24 holes (including invisible, "half-holes" 0 at the bottom and 24 at the top).
Then we do the math:
611 / 19 = 32.157
771 / 24 = 32.125 .....QED
Bottom line:
Whichever way you look at it (even by checking different cabinet heights), it's always closer to 32 than 33. And besides that, my metric ruler also tells me the same.
