Needing some lower shock mount measurements...
 
I am currently in the process of having Jon Brakke build me a set of tubular control arms for my build and he doesn't have a set of OEM NA control arms to get measurements on for the spacing between (inner tab distance) the lower shock mount for it to slide into place. Unfortunately, I do not have mine nor do I have a spare set of shocks laying around... This measurement can however be obtained by measuring the width of the widest part of the lower shock mount for a coilover (including the bushing if necessary). As long as the shock base fits into the factory mounts the measurement should be good. I need to know both the fronts and rears with a set of dial calipers. If anyone could measure this for me it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for the help guys.

Just in case my original description was too hard to understand what I am looking for... Here is a picture. Need these measurements for the front and the rear shocks. Thanks guys!

I could measure my old shocks that are in the shed. How accurate do you need them to be?

Need it to be to the closest 1/10 millimeter... I have a set of dial calipers but no spare shocks. :(

I'll give it a shot, no guarantees though ;)

Your assistance will be greatly appreciated...

I can't find my digital calipers right now, so I'll take some measurements tomorrow

Not a biggy man... Just post up and let me know. It's not a huge deal yet as I'm still getting funding together for the build. Just sending Jon all of the information so he will be ready to go when I send him the money. I have someone else checking as well to verify.

Is that for both the front and the rear? Hard to tell in the pic, but it is obvious it is 44.5 mm NOT 4.45 mm. Haha! Thanks man!

Just need a measurement of the rears now to VERIFY that they are the same as the front. Would suck to have an expensive control arm built that I can't use. :(

Got verification that front and rear are the same at 45 mm approximately. Thanks guys!
