I'l try to do it later today if i have access.
What do you need? the dimensions of the bracket or the distance between the brackets/orientation in the car...etc?

Hopefully I can help, assuming you haven't found any measurements yet. I measured mine and took some pictures; I haven't got around to uploading those yet though. The protruding square measures 45x55mm; the upper side extends from the sidewall about 20mm and the lower side 35mm. I don't have a measurement for the ears that weld to the body panel, but would guess around 20mm for those. I'll try and upload some pictures when I get a chance. Of course, the easy way would be if you could get a pair off a parts car...

I 3D scanned it and rebuilt the model of the bracket itself & sent it to Joost.
I'll put this model along others in a downloads section on my website...just need some time to implement that download page/section.
I think i got the same dimensions in my model...but good to check with another measurement/car.

I used a Creality Ferret, hand held for this scan, but i also have access to some high end 100K scanners that can do huge components and offer very good accuracy.
Its a bit of an effort to understand their capabilities and limitations.
In some conditions and some specific components i also had issues with scanning.
Also its important to manage your expectations.

I use this scanner to get reference data in order to rebuild the models in CAD.
I dont expect ready to print quality levels.
When doing scans, there are also some process induced quality factors which one has to take into consideration based on the function of the part / purpose scan.
