Just measured the one on my CustomCamper/30.

This is what I came up with:

A - 1-1/8"

B - 9/16"

Is 1-1/8" to the top hole (not the bottom)?

No, 1-1/8" was for dimension "A"

9/16" is actually from the top hole and I see "B" should be from the bottom hole so I've been caught not following directions so that was one big screw up.

It was a bit difficult to accurately measure in the truck (in the dark with a flashlight didn't help either). I figured removing two medium sized screws this morning might help overcome my one big screw up last night. So I pulled out the bracket and I'm revising dimension A and this time correctly measuring dimension B from the bottom hole per the instructions on the diagram.

So the good stuff has been triple checked and is:

Dimension A - 1-1/32"

Dimension B - 2-3/16"

Hope this helps.

This is exactly what I need; thank you!

I'm going to make the Z-shaped bracket for my truck (probably going to use 1/8" steel plate) and I wanted to make sure it would fit.

It fits fine! I wouldn't have gotten it to clear the hood without your dimensions. Thanks!

I was able to extend the 5.06" location dimension from the power block to about 5.5" to give more side terminal battery clearance and still clear the hood hinge.
