GReddy downpipe support bracket?
My used kit didn't come with this bracket and I want to fabricate it while waiting for the BNR upgrade. If you have one around could you please post these 4 measurements? Appreciate it.

Here you go 
Edit: not displayed is the height which is 0.3cm for the lower part 1cm for the outer ridge which is 0.3cm wide.
Also as a word of advice, I've seen people in the past point to this piece not being sturdy enough and the vibrations eventually lead to a cracked manifold. The GReddy manifolds on other car's turbo kits are also prone to cracking so it probably has to do with poor quality casting as well...
I was planning on making a beefier support myself.

Yeah, I'll do the same, but...
@IronTanuki, thanks for the numbers, but they are not very clear. Could you please get me the distance from hole to hole for the bolts? That's what matters. In your picture on the left the outer hole will be the one. The shape is no problem. Thanks man I appreciate it.

Edit: Also as you can see the previous user of this support (some parts of my kit are 2nd hand) drilled out their own section so I did not include a center to center from the fronts to the back since there isn't a "center" anymore on mine. It is 15.5 cm from the original hole to the others though.

OK. Got it now. Thanks.
4cm center to center or 3.8 edge to edge with 10 mm hole does not match up but I can get that from the transmission, right?
Others fill free to confirm before start drilling.
So It's like that

i just traced my oem bracket for the 2 holes that bolt to the transmission since those dont change and measured the distance between the holes on the transmission to the holes on the downpipe and made a quick cut...super quick and easy...all done on a slab of steel..
