Default STILLEN Engine Damper Brace For VQ35HR

Hi everyone. I need some help. i have lost the mounting bracket. Does anyone know where i can get one online?
If not can someone give me the dimensions so i can create a CAD image file and try to make it myself?
i didnt know where to post this but it is for the VQ35HR.

I have searched. I have emailed STILLEN three times and have not responded. I dont want to buy it again.
It came with the car uninstalled and i lost the piece.

You don't especially need the specific dimensions and a CAD drawing... If you can't find them take some carton boards, glue, scissors and make yourself a model to fit where you want. Then you replicate it from metal. You take it little by little, cut, try in position, adjust again etc until it fits properly. Hope it helps.

The two non-threaded holes are 3/8ths, the center of the holes is 7/16ths from any of the leading edges from the rounded ends. the third hole where the damper mounts to is 5/16ths in size and also threaded, with the hole centered 7/16ths from any of the leading edges of the squared end.
