As a matter of fact I do! (That's **** me, haha)

Before I took mine off I made a few key measurements in case I decided to put them back on. (I never did).

With the car sitting at stock height in my garage I made these measurements using a yardstick from the ground to the center line of the large BSM (the one that affixes to the door).

At the rear (trailing end) of the BSM it measured 21 3/8" from the ground to the centerline of the BSM. At the leading end (widest end) the centerline was 19 1/16" above the ground.

The front edge (perpendicular to the ground) of the BSM was 1 7/16" back from the leading edge of the door.

I didn't measure the smaller BSM piece because I figured if I got the door piece in place properly it would be easy enough to eyeball the location of the smaller piece.

Hope that helped!

..rickko..
PS I've been waiting for someone to ask this question, haha....
