R52 feeder shock kit question

Since it's raining for the next 3 or 4 days I thought I would install this kit. The rear shocks are pretty straight forward with existing holes to locate spud mounts but the front shocks, I'm not so sure about the location. The instructions that came with the kit, to me, are clear as mud. I can't tell where exactly the spuds get welded. The drawing is poor but I get the general area of where they go. I just don't understand their measurement of 3". Where is that measured from?

There has to be an exact measurement to locate the front shock spuds. That's the jist of what I need to know. Thanks for any help.

OH, this is on a 1996 R52, serial number 56xxx.

I'm not familiar with this kit

OK I studied the crappy drawing in the instructions and figured it out after taking a look at my cousin's R65, it is different as my 52 is prior to serial number 58XXX. and so I just stared at the drawing and my R52. Figured out what looked like dots were actually arrows in the drawing. OK got it, 50 year old eyes and crappy copy.

The 3" measurement is taken from the rear edge of the heavy plate, forward. The 3/4" measurement is taken from the top edge of the heavy plate, down. That marks center of the lower spud.

I drilled and tapped a hole for a 5/16" bolt at that spot, just to hold the spud solid while I welded it. I didn't drill more than a 1/2" deep. Worked great. Front shocks are installed. Tomorrow the rear.
