Shock absorber for spare tire holder ( w463 cabrio only)

Hi to all

I need a little help.

I have old holder for spare tire (w460 cabrio), so I want to made a little up-grade on it. I want to mount a shock absorber (later ''absorber'') like w463 has it.

New spare tire holder has a absorber on it.

So what I need?
I need measure positions and detailed pictures of:

- place where is welded holder of absorber on shell (car, body)
- place where is welded holder of absorber on spare tyre holder
- sizes of absorber when is full open [mm]
- sizes of absorber when is full closed [mm]
- and strength of absorber [N]

When you measuring absorber it has to be removed from the car and then measure, because when it is on car and opened it is not full opened.
It is easy to put it off the car.
Strength is written on it ( like: xxx [N] ) .

Here is picture of thing that I need dimensions and pictures (part 290):

I know one man how will make me absorber but I have to give him dimensions.
I think you will understand me, because my English is poor.

Thanks in advance
