Default division plate measurement

Hi all, Lew Skelton here, I have lurked for a while but its time to pick the collective brains. Im in the process of making one LP2 carrier hull from approx two and a half cut to bits or rusted hulls. Iv'e started rebuilding the front half, currently working on the bottom of the division plate ( crumbly rust ) and wondering if anyone has the diameter of the holes that the brake rods pass thru and are they round or slightly oblong? and the distance the hole is from side and floor plate
thanks in advance
And yes Lynn I finally pushed the hull into the garage and can now park in driveway.

Lew

Default cheers Lynn most helpfull

Cheers Lynn, the photos will be good for when I get around to the rear, sorry I wasnt too clear as its the measurements in the plate right behind the driver, Ive worked out the rectangular ones and have got a rough idea on the size of the holes but then again the more I poke the one I have the bigger it gets, size at the moment approx 28mm, also having a crack at adding photos

Hi Lew, the first measurement is from the edge of the bulkhead to the centre of the hole.
