Outside dimensions are 22-5/16" long, 7" tall at the back and 4-3/4" at the front. The item is made from 2" by 3/16" stock and the taper Rob is talking about is at the front. The 4-3/4" vertical piece goes from 2" at the top to 3" at the bottom (ie. not a T as shown in the pic). The inward bends at the bottom are (again outside dimensions) 1" at the rear and 1-1/16" at the front. Hole spacing is 1" apart on the rear foot and 2" apart on the front.

The wood (or rubber) bumper is 2" wide by 22" long. Height about 1" for wood. There are 5 holes, 5" apart running down the middle and centred front/rear (such that there is 1" from the ends to the first and last holes).
