07+ owners with hardtop (Elise/Exige)... I need your help please!

Can someone go out to their garage and take some dimensions of the middle bracket for me?

I'm in the middle of creating a bracket for 05-06 owners and need to know how much the OEM bracket pulls down on the top.

I'm attaching a picture of the bracket. If you can please take the following measurements and post them up here I'd greatly appreciate it (along with a bunch of other Lotus owners!!)

1. Hole spacing (how far apart the two holes are)
2. Height measurement (how "tall" the bracket is... or the distance from the bottom of the bracket to where it touches the actual roof)
3. Width measurement (how wide it is)

If someone has a drawing of the actual bracket with dimensions on it that would be ideal



Lotus charges almost $300 for this part... I'm trying to make a much lower cost "retrofit kit" for 05-06 owners that don't have this bracket. I need the measurements so I don't risk cracking the top when it's torqued down.

Thanks!
