lowering block dimensions

hey guys just wondering if anyone had a set of lowering block sitting around for an escort that they could messure up for me
need to know
 
width, length, pin size and height/depth
 
want to run inch blocks in my escort but have a borgwarner diff so need different U bolts and not sure if i can get inch blocks to suit escort, so hoping to find something similar to suit a falcon or something
 
Thanks
 
Zac

    Ok.
    The pin on top of mine is 13.5 ish mm. (i say ish because at the top it's 13.2 at the bottom it's 13.6.
    However the instructions suggest that if you have a large pin hole (in the spring) they supply a tapered washer to put on it.
    Not sure what i have as i have never had the ubolts apart.
    Anyway;
    lenght is 102mm
    width is 51mm
     
    If it is a large hole then the hole in the bottom of the lowering block is 22.8mm but the supplied TAPERED washer is 23.38mm
     
    Fun Huh!
    Hope this helps.
    Darren.
