No help on measurement; but here is a picture of the layout.

A while back @Heard posted about making his bows out of 5/16 or 3/8 steel brake line tube with mount tabs welded on the end.

I would think steel brake line tubing is not nearly "springy" enough to do a proper job. It might be OK initially, but any sort of accidental contact would cause it to take a bad "set".

Maybe @Heard will see this and respond how the bows worked out for him.

Probably could hit up a junk yard for a bow and reshape it.
