Help... Dimensions needed on the Rotopax upright base mount for DIY project

Rotopax and stores everywhere are all backordered on the Rotopax mounts and I don't have time to wait for them to be available. I was able to buy just the Deluxe T Handle no problem, and a friend is going to fabricate the upright base mount portion for me. It's not the end of the world, but I can't find the dimensions for the upright mount anywhere! I tried contacting Rotopax for the info, and they just tried to sell me the single piece I need instead, which wasn't a bad price, but after expedited shipping costs, it wasn't justifiable since I can make one for a few bucks.

Their office closed for the weekend before I could ask one more time if they could give me the measurements, so I was wondering if anyone could tell me the L x W x H on the upright base mount?
 
Someone thankfully answered my question, but if anyone else needs to know, the screws on the handles are 5/16th carriage bolts, and for the upright base mount portion, they are 2" tall, 4" long, and 3/4" wide. The holes on the bottom of the upright base mounts where you bolt them to mounting brackets or base plates are spaced 2.5" apart from center to center
 
I just found this round mount plate drill template online if it will help anyone who needs it...

Here's the completed product... I'm really happy with this roof rack mount that my friend made! I ended up being able to find the upright mount somewhere, so he didn't have to make one.
