Guys.
I just bought the Whitby Frame Mod for the Fox Body Brake Booster... they are shipping out next week. But I don't want to wait for the frame mod to arrive, I want to cut the frame today.
Does anyone have the dimensions required for the Whitby kit?

Thanks, John.

I have to say... what's the rush? The 3/4 inch tubing is surprisingly thin and cuts very quickly. I used a plain old hack saw because it was more work to hook up something powered. Took several minutes at most. I installed the Whitby power brake set-up on my Mk3. The frame mod not only has a specific distance, it needs to be in the right spot so it provides the proper clearance for the vacuum booster plus lines up for the bolts that hold the new piece in. Not a big deal, and maybe low risk to cut ahead of time. But personally I would never cut something without everything on hand to exactly get the right layout. Something that should only take minutes now takes hours to fix. Find something else to work on until the parts arrive and you can mock it up properly.
