Hole pattern for chicken plate mount?

I'm thinking about making my own chicken plate and mount setup (possibly ballistic or just for show, I'm undecided). Does anyone know the dimensions of the 4 mounting holes in the universal pintle adapter? (Shown below)

Sorry I thought you had those measurements on the drawing that was posted.

3-1/2 inches center to center height wise.
5-1/2 inches center to center width wise.
3/8" bolts
The drawing posted is for the plate, I need the hole pattern thats on the pintle adapter. This part:

There is a bar between them and it looks like the hole pattern might be different from one side to another:

Are you saying its actually the same on both sides? Its hard to tell but maybe it is?

So you don't already have a pintle adapter? Or the arm between the shield and adapter?
Are you planning on making them?
Why not just buy them?
If making them you can make it what ever size you want.
They are a different pattern.

I already have the pintle adapter, but its the kind that doesnt have the mounting flange. I can easily weld one on if I have the dimensions.

You're right that I could make it any dimension I want. But I wanted to maintain parts interchangability if I ever buy OEM parts.
