Default 71 radio mounting bracket dimensions

I have some flat steel that I want to make a radio support bracket. I looked at a few from vendors but a $45.00 price is a rip off. Anyway can someone give me the dimensions of the through hole diameter and the dimension from the centerline of the mounting hole to the center line of the slotted hole??
I would also like to thank Alan for the info on mounting brackets for the front bumper. The PO purchased new bumpers(front and back) and screwed-up the threads on the outer mounts on the front bumper. Who ever made this bumper did not align the welded nut to the through hole in bumper. I had to retap and use the next size thread size.
Thanks
Mike

Hi Mike,
The brace is 5/8"x3-5/8".
It has a slight bend to it about in the middle.
It also has a raised 'rib' running through it's center.
The lower hole is 5/16" in diameter…larger than the hex headed screw that goes through it. The hole starts 3/32" from the bottom of the brace.
The slot is 3/16" wide and 7/16" long. The slot starts 1/4" from the top of the brace.
Regards,
Alan
