No, I don't. But it is the FX-11
Determining What Size Anchor You Need - The World's Best Anchors!
I cut about 5" from the shank, and probably 2" from each side of the stock. Drilled a hole to match the pin in the fountain anchor mount. Smoothed it all out with a die grinder with a rolock wheel and done. It's not near as pretty as the Fountain anchor, but I'm not looking to submit it to any anchor porn sites, either.
I've got my stainless anchor at my house. Be glad to measure it if someone needs that. However, the mount in the anchor locker that holds the pin is just screwed to the back wall of the anchor locker. My guess is that Fountain did not standardize the location of that mount - rather they screwed the mount to the anchor locker after the anchor was in place (to ensure good alignment with the pin and anchor). So measurements would get you close, but that hole in the anchor needs to be "custom" drilled once anchor is put in there.
