I posted this awhile back and can't locate the answers to the measurements sent back to me. Anyone have a copy of the answer sheet?

You said, "welded on", Do they actually get welded on?

I'd think they would be welded on being they are on a hat channel like the one on the windshield. There is no access to the back. Unless there were weld nuts but the pic looks like they are spotted on.

They are welded on. Look closely at the photo above.

On my A1 and referring to the photo Wes posted, K = 10 1/2", L = 10 3/4" and Q = 10 1/2".

That's a start. "V" would establish the distance from the rear panel seam to the first footman loop screw hole. It would be nice to get all the measurements for the rear.

I guess that is a critical element. V is 8 1/2".

Here is the updated photo:

Hopefully some day we will get the remaining measurements
