TR4/4A TR4A Battery Holder Positions?

I'm restoring a '65 TR4A slowly. I cut out the rusty sheet metal under and behind the battery and forgot to make a note of the positions of the battery holders, which I removed with the sheet metal. I'm not sure what the correct term is for the battery holders, but they are basically stamped and folded pieces of metal welded to the firewall and battery shelf on either side of the battery. They serve as mounting places for the battery hold-down bolts. Today I found I was ready to weld the battery holders back into place, but I've managed to lose any old pieces of the shelf and firewall that would indicate placement. I can place the left side holder fairly easily, but I need a measurement to place the other holder. Would someone with an original setup please measure the distance between the battery holders for me? Thanks!
 
Thanks, Richard, that does look about right. Just doing some straightening/puttying on the firewall, then those holders go back in.
