I have an APCO Oil Level Gauge like the one shown in the photos below and I am looking for some dimensions/measurements of the mounting/stabilizing bracket that originally came with the unit (I am looking in your general direction Jay, I think the first two photos are yours that I stole from the old Forum).

In particular, I am looking for the size of the material for the bracket, width and thickness. Also the length of the arm that mounts to the oil pan bolt (yellow arrows) and the distance from the center of the mounting hole to the bend (red arrows).

It shouldn't be a difficult piece to make, I would just like to get as close to original as I can. Any and all help is always appreciated. Once I get this installed I can get one of the oil fill extensions offered by Tim. Thank you again for looking and for any help.

Looks like someone made their own (top left). Tried an approximation for the bracket bar
Thickness 1/8", width 3/4" , length to 90 bend 5-1/2", tab 1", tab hole same as pan hole. Might need a longer bolt
I would image that the length measure just needs to be close and the bracket around the body adjusted up down as needed. Hope to see how close I come
