Building a Crosskart, bought a YFZ450 front end off eBay.

I need some dimensions off a YFZ frame from 04-13, specifically the front A-arm and Shock mounting points.
Seems the top A-arms are mountedwider horizontally than the bottom.
I need the distance vertically between the top and bottom A-arms.
The offset distance horizontally from the top to bottom A-arms.
Length to the frame front shock mount to either the top or bottom A-arm mount, whichever is easier to measure.
Centerline to centerline (bolt hole to bolt hole) is the easiest to measure.

So can someone do some measuring for me? I’d greatly appreciate it!

Anyone out there with the 04-13 frame that can help me? Really need these dimensions, essentially the horizontal offset.
I’m more than happy to pay for your time.

Hey there i am happy to help out. I have my 05 here at work and I also have a 13 at home. I can get measurements from either

Thanks David,
So further research tells me the front end I’ve got is an 06 or newer.
long story short I bought this front end from a Montana guy off eBay. Had lower covers on them, didn’t realize they left side was bashed in badly. Buyer beware, I guess crooks guna crook as the kids say.
Anyway I’m now looking for a new set of chromoly a arms. I’ve never had any luck with used anything.
I’m thinking the Alba a arms look good for the money. I’d prefer to go with stock width, but I’m not seeing any from a reputable company that are stock width, much less chromoly.

So your 13 YFZ would probably be the one to measure.

Sorry for the tangent, I’m still a bit unhappy” with my eBay buddy.
