Default Measurement request: Engine Crossmember

Wondering if anyone has a bare crossmember that they could measure for me. I need to know the distance between the steering rack mounting holes, both horizontally and vertically. I am unable to do this as my car is 80 miles away

Attached is a picture showing what measurements I need. TIA

Not really, just getting measurements to try and adapt a 924 manual rack to the 944 x-member. Shouldn't actually be very difficult as one of the 944 mounts already will work, just need to um, persuade the other side of the rack to fit

There will be pics of course.

I know you recommended against this but it's the only real option I have because I bought it because it was listed as a 944 part. And now I have it and find out its a 924 part I try to sell it and then it turns out all 924s had manual steering anyways.

I'm not going to be modifying the crossmember (unless I find a spare somewhere), rather modifying the rack to use 944 steering rack mounts.

Should be an interesting experience.
