Default C4 front upright/spindle measurements

Hi,

I have searched the web for a couple of days now in the hunt of measurements for the two different types of front spindle/upright used on the C4. I need four different measurements.

1: total height, either from center balljoint to center balljoint, or just the top surface to bottom surface.
2: Distance from center of bearing pin to either top or bottom surface/balljoint.
3: Distance from flange surface to top connection (in the X-direction of a X-Y plain)
4: Distance from flange surfcae to bottom connection (in the X-direction of a X-Y plain)

Picture for clarification:

I need these for both the early and late vette spindles to determine which one would suit my build the best. And in order to calculate that I need to know KPI, how far out the flange is from the steering axis and the height of the whole spindle + the height at which the wheel centers. I hope someone here can help out with these measurements
