350R or 500 CFTP Measurements Needed

[Ewheels]

Can someone with either a GT350R or a GT500 CFTP please chime in? I need to know the measurement between the two bolts on the inside of the trunk that mount the wings on.

This picture is from @Mod Mustang Racing showcasing their own dogbone support brackets since Ford doesn't sell the OEM piece. The MMR dogbones are supposed to be direct replacements for the OEM ones but I'm running into a problem.

I recently purchased a Verus Engineering wing for my GT that is also supposed to be a direct replacement but the Verus kit and the MMR dogbones don't line up.
MMR dogbones = OEM
Verus wing = OEM
MMR dogbones =/= Verus wing ???
Not sure how this is possible. One of the two products cannot equal OEM measurements.

A 24 min response time. . . . The hero we don’t deserve!

Thanks very much. I appreciate this.

Verus wing using Anderson dog bones. Ballpark figures here as it's a tricky measurement to get exact.

Thanks Kyle. Your measurements seem almost identical to OEM 350R so I'm thinking the MMR brackets are the outliers here. I'll measure when I get home today.

Uugghhh, that damn @wingnutt , LOL. I was trying to get home from work and measure!

I recently had the same issue that forced me out of using a cool part. I have the Anderson GT500 wing. Exact replica as stock. FatHouse makes wing risers that are 2" taller. Made off the factory wing/risers. The FatHouse riser does not work with my Anderson wing. Aaarrgghhh.

It's frustrating isn't it?
They're supposed to line up on paper but reality works out differently.

@Ewheels Yeah it is, as I was looking forward to the taller risers. But it appears I'm the only one to run across the issue, so nothing will probably change. FatHouse was super awesome about it, as far as customer service goes. I took comparison pictures of the Anderson vs FatHouse risers and they were different. You can visually see what/why caused my fitment issue. But that alone doesn't answer the problem statement as I have not been able to compare side by sides to a stock set of risers. Other than I talked to Anderson and they say their risers are a direct match to factory as well, soooooo.....

I need to find someoone where I can do a side by side comparison of my Anderson risers to stock so that I'd have evidence reach back out to FatHouse and say "hey...check this out..."
