Fabricating my own Ford 9" question(s)

Fabricating my own Ford 9" question(s) I have a couple of spare 9" housings laying around and want to build my own. I've already sourced a narrowing/axle tube setup jig, reluctor rings for my 4 channel abs, torque arm mounts (either Moser, Currie or fabbing up my own) and conversion u-joint. I've setup 7.5 and 8.5 GM rears before and fabbed my own stuff for many, many years.
My main question is about the housing ends. I need the dimensions of the bolt pattern for the backing plates. I've looked on Google but found conflicting information.
I would also like to know if anyone's found a place that sells the spring perches and shock mounts that you can weld to the axle tubes. I thought Currie offered them but I was wrong.
Also, if you've setup your own Ford 9" what have you ran into that has caught you off guard. I don't like getting to where I'm in the install process and I've missed something or miscalculated something. I've definitely learned the rule, "figure the cost of your budget and then double it". I've learned it the hard way a couple of times too.

Here is a link to My website that shows the dimensions of the face of the housing ends. If You need the depth measurements too I will get a pair off the shelf and measure them as well.

Racecraft sells the brackets $250 or more. And I believe midwest chassis will sell them to you also. As far as the ends www.quickperformance.com sells them for f body brakes on a 9 inch. But what I learned for the $995 quickperformance sells a bolt in housing with axles. You wont save much money piecing one together.

I am going the same route and in process of aquiring parts.
So far:
Late 70's F250 large housing bare rear housing $60 from eBay.
Brackets plasma cut from a 10 bolt rear purchased off a member on this site $100.
