Dimensions for Specialites TA front rack?
I want to have a custom rack built, much like the Specialites TA front rack, however that one's made for mounting to cantilever centerpull brake pivots. I want one that mounts to low-rider bosses lower on the fork blades. Would someone who owns one measure the following dimensions for me, please? aTdHvAaNnKcSe.

was there one designed for cantis? most i've seen were designed for MAFAC centerpulls, and i think the one in the picture is designed for MAFAC centerpulls. notice how high the pivot boss flanges are relative to the fork crown flange. the TA racks always appear larger in pictures. in reality, they're quite petit, about 50% smaller than a nitto M12... they are designed primarily to prevent bag sag, while relying on a decalleur to support most of the bag weight.

Also nice that this doesn't interfere with the brake mounting itself.
