Default dimensions required- BGC shovel bracket Lp2

I require the dimensions/height of the bracket or strap that secures the shovel to the rear diff armoured cover of pioneer plate.
See the pictures.
can anyone measure the height of their strap?
Hopefully I will be able to cut and weld mine in place soon.

many thanks

Default rear plate

Hey Darrin,
You are welcome to take my finished plate and use as a template.
I could also do a plan if it helps.

Default Give it a twist too.

I shaped the stirrup for the blade using a pair of big crescents so that the shovel head is a snug fit.
