Need some measurements

I'm in need of some measurements, if anyone has easy access underneath the front of their car!

I'm replacing some of the front chassis legs and need to know the distance from the front edge of the chassis legs to the anti-roll bar bolts. I can't measure what's already on my car as those sections have been bodged by a previous owner and each side measures different.
 
A big thankyou to Pete Chappers for the measurements :cheers:

It turns out the RH is correctly positioned and the LH is 6mm too far towards the crossmember. Time to start cutting more of the car up, at this rate there won't be much car left!
 
Measurements are from the centre of the mounting studs / threaded holes:

dim 135mm is actually 145mm.Sorry to all those who have tried to rebuild overnight!

cheers, could come in handy at some point, though most of the new bits are confined to small areas.

try and weld it with the crossmember bolted in place aswell to stop things moving out of place
 
Annoyingly I have to drop the crossmember as there isn't enough room to replace all that needs replacing with it bolted to the car.

Cheers for the correction Pete, I was half deaf from the angle grinder when I talked with you on the phone, that's my excuse anyway :)
 
tack it all in place and then bolt up the cross member or use something lightweight to hold it all steady and to stop it moving
