Measurement help

I'm trying to order a couple of winged back rests from Jay Metalwork.

But I notice the Ribcraft wings have a straight section before the hoop. It looks to give a better hugging angle to the seat.

Anyway I need to sketch what I want to send them and wondered if anyone had a ribcraft to hand with the same backrests, that could measure a few bits for me?

Wing backs are very good but they don't half hinder moving around the boat between the seats.

100 quid for the 4 theres a set of black covers for the pads too somewhere could weld a flat plate to the backrest tube with a hole in it to bolt them to . companys charge £300 per backrest to wingback them
