Cab mount frame support question
Here's a picture of mine (sorry for it being upside down, I'm currently working on the frame and didn't want to flip it over just for the picture, haha):
Does anyone know what the ID of that hole is supposed to be? I'm either going to repair that one or simply build new ones, but I'm not quite sure what that hole should be.
Also, this may be asking a bit much but what about the length, center to center across the frame, from one to the other?
I'm sure the holes are big enough to allow all the movement the cab would need to compensate any abnormalities, but I wanna get it kinda close. I don't want to buy frame savers or new mounts from JBG simply because I weld for a living and all these materials are free to me. :-)
Thanks!

When I get done it'll be one solid piece and you wouldn't know it was previously rotted, haha. I just need to know the ID of the hole so I get it right. :-)
The old mounts are mutilated, but I'm almost 100% sure the hole is bigger than the mount/bolt that go down through it.

Ah, so all 4 on the cab are the same and the core support is a bit smaller. (1 3/8"-1 1/4") Thanks!
