Mazdaspeed Wing Brackets

Mazdaspeed Wing Brackets
I am looking for the Mazdaspeed Wing bracket dimensions. Does anyone have a template that shows the dimensions or a wing they can use to take exact measurements.
I know others have needed replacements in the past, and I have a fabricator willing to make replacements for those that need them.. but he needs the proper dimensions to have them laser cut. I need the hole locations and the proper measurements.
I am specifically looking for the lower bracket dimensions.

I have an sketchup model that's pretty close. Measured with calipers. There are some issues with it though. It's not quite the right angle. In fact, the model is a right angle, but the brackets I have are actually 94°. It also doesn't have the holes for the mounting the brackets to the trunk. My trunk already has a wing, and the brackets I have were drilled in the wrong spots, so I left them blank.
I can get it to you once I'm at home. I think it's pretty good, but would be open to input on changing them.

Alright, here you go.

that's a dwg (AutoCAD file)

The other is an SKP, which is for Sketchup.
Anyone can view those files, so if anyone is lurking, feel free to download them if you'd like. I can probably take some time this week to improve them as well.

Thanks a lot for providing these. I did send them to my friend to see if they would work for him.
Did you ever tweak/improve them at all?

Unfortunately, the guy who installed the wing didn't understand what I was getting at with leaving the trunk cover off so I could test the strength of my carbon fiber replicas, and actually installed the carbon ones like they were the grommet for the aluminum ones...

I was wondering where these files came from. I think I helped Jazer back in May on improving the files and converting them to dxf files so they can be used with a water jet. Not sure how they turned out for her or if she ended up making them but I do have the flat files of the lower brackets if anyone is interested. I can't guarantee how they fit as I don't have one to measure against, I mainly just built directly off of bwilk's files, so my dimensions are the same

After having my wing installed (albeit not by the best autobody person in the world) I found that the bases, which are flat, do not match the contour of the trunk which has some curve to it. This is not reflected in the original files. I don't know if it's a constant radius or variable, I just ended up bending my brackets with a hammer and a bunch of elbow grease.
