Kari-Keen Trunk Installation, part 2

[Bud]

I began assembling the brackets I have collected for the Kari-Keen trunk. This trunk is intended for my slant-window Fordor. I have found that the brackets I have that go underneath the car, though for a Model A Fordor, are too short for a slant-window Fordor. My best estimation is that the correct bracket must be at least 3 inches longer. The bracket I am referring to is the one that mounts to the last body block bolt and runs between the fender and the lower body apron.

Would anyone out in the Fordbarn community have the original bracket for a slant-window Fordor and be willing to supply me with dimensions so I can have a pair made?

I also found out that the license plate interferes with this bracket vertically by at least 1.5 inches. I found out on a previous post that there is some kind of "tail light extension" Kari-Keen provided. If you look at one of their advertisements the license plates don't fit too well.
I'm still working on this issue.

Well, if anyone can help further I would really appreciate it. I do want to thank those that commented on my prior post.
