Unit fork measurement needed

I'm restoring a Unit link for a friend and need a measurement. Someone really butchered this one. The mount on the swingarm that the fork pivot fits into has been cut off and replaced with a home made version that is really a mess. I can see where the original was mounted but need to know the measurement from the front face of the original to the center of the front hole and the center to center measurement between the two holes. I believe this is a common piece used on most Unit swingarms.

Unit leaks are made specific to the bike they are intended for. The swing arm pivot sets your trail, get it wrong and the bike will either steer heavy, be twitchy or if negative trail is the result be virtually impossible to ride.
You will either need to do the math or get measurements for a Unit brand link for the bike it is going on assuming that the changes to the link were not done in order to mount the link on a different bike then it was designed for in which case you are just going to have to do the math.

Just looking for dimensions for the one part for a restoration project. I have built many myself. LOL
