I'm not too sure which bits you mean Steffan. Do you mean the bar across the windscreen or are you referring to the bumper?

I didn't make it so have no drawings etc.

I'm not too sure my efforts with a tape measure will be meaningful to you to be honest.

Be aware that I decided to have my screen bar lower down. This aids with visibility but means it has to be removed to open the bonnet properly.

Mine is bolted to my rock sliders so can be removed and is in sections so damaged parts can be replaced easier. Not that I've damaged it.

It's fabbed to be as such. My rocksliders are welded to the chassis on big spreader plates.
