Rear strut tower position

[monty400k]

Hi, I recently bought an 81 1600 coupe, the n/s rear arch has been repaired by a previous owner however the o/s one is a mess, the metal around the tower itself is reasonably solid although the seam that goes over the wheel front to back has pulled apart, subsequently the weight of the car and force of the strut has caused the seam to split which has forced the top of the tower into towards the centre of the car. I am confident that there is enough decent meta left to allow me to repair the this however I want to be sure to get the tower back into its original position, can someone measure between the mounting points on there car and post the dimensions please, thanks!

Well, impressive enough that you can scan with your phone at all!
