Hoping someone can get these spindle dimensions for me.

I plan to have a set of 55-63 spindles modified by moving the steering arms up to the BD position.

Thanks

One of you must have a spindle that can be easily measured. Smile Soon going to start messaging people with spindles and begging for dimensions. Haha

Need to get these modifed and can get them close enough from looking at photos but would prefer they were as accurate as possible.

Here are some specs that should get you in the area. not completely accurate but for the most part close.
The measurements are in the right area but the photo angles make it look a bit off.
Also an image of the BD spindle beside the dropped modified later spindle
