I bought a front frame section but seam to be missing about a foot. can anyone measure a frame and give me some numbers? I plan on using square tube and have some frame chunks to cover the tube, just don't know how much I am missing

There is a place you can call to get a copy free but I can't find the number right now. If I run across it I will post it here.

I was told that there is a hole in the frame that is the center line on the front? I have what used to be a bump stop on my frame in the rear this should be center line for rear? Has any one ever seen any frame specs. like for a frame machine? I realy want to try to use the frame I have. due to cost and then shipping.
