Default XJS Rear Suspension Measurements

Hi I am welding an area on my 89 XJS that looks like it has had a couple of bodged repairs. Consequently I need to know what teh distance is between teh two bolts where the radius arms mount to the body near the two jacking points. Its just teh distance apart - I am happy I know the distance from teh bulkhead.
Alternatively a bodywork diagram with key measurements on it would be good

kind regards
Mark

I just measured mine from the outside edge of each bolt and the measurement was 44 3/4". Full disclosure, I re-welded one of the radius arm mounts.

On my parts car, appears to be original, the measurement is 45" from the outside of each bolt edge (instead of center to center, outer edge to outer edge)

Ok thanks for that. I assume the outside edge of the bolt is based on the flat the rather than the point and just to be sure what size bolt geads are on yours so i can work centre to centre out for mine. Thanks again
