It took me a long time to get this sorted. still working on rest of suspension, I have modified trailing arms for coil overs..
I did all the work myself, I have a TIG welder, powder coating setup, my 3 door is totally in bits, you can see the base of the rotisserie in background not even fuel lines left, I have made all kinds of crap. I am using Dick Johnsons car as inspiration as his shop is a few miles from me and he still has his best sierra on show.

The dimensions are somewhere on my computer will look for them, the critical one is to have the front hole 90mm ahead of existing one. Also note that you have little room around the pin hole as you have hand brake line...
Your bolts will be 12mm / 1.2 inch. The rose joints I used are 3/4 chrome moly... Note also that I added strengthening to the side of the mount...
Not sure if you have much else to go by, let me know..
