Looks like the overall length of the rod including the bends is about 16.25", straight line.
I used an original rod and welded up a temporary jig on the welding table to get the bends the same and the placement of the holes correct, then made the bends, using a length of 1/2" round, leaving a little extra on each end so I could trim to fit.
The bends (approx. 155*), are centered 3" in from the center of the holes which I made at 5/16" maybe a little more.
The straight line between the holes is approx. 9.5"
I cut some small pieces of 3/8" x 3/4" flat into 3/4" squares for the ends and welded them to the bent rod after adjusting the length to match the original using the jig as a guide for pacing them.
Drill the holes in these pieces before cutting.
If you could visualize drawing a straight line thru the center of the holes, from this line to the upper side of the long part of the 1/2 round is approx. 1-5/8".
I hope this is understandable!!
