Default EK Rear Bumper Bar Bolt Hole Spacing

What's the left/right bolt hole spacing of the rear bumper bar mounting holes?
I already know the front/rear spacing is 80mm, but I'm trying to find out if the left/right spacing 906mm ±1.5mm.
Big thanks to whoever can just go out to their car and measure this for me.

Nobody's willing to help? Really?
Trade a favor for a favor, of course.

<p>Just sayin', you're asking some random person who doesn't know you to pull their bumper cover and bumper bar off just to give you a measurement. &nbsp;By now, you could have gone to a junk yard and done it yourself.</p>

Actually, all they'd need to do is push back the two sections of trunk liner and measure from the bolt head centers.
Plus, I'm always willing to return favors, of course, so long as it's honda related.

Thanks!
Took me a while to find something showing what I'm needing, but here goes:



The bar on the bottom of the photo is attached to the two bolts that I need the distance between.
There's also another bolt on each side that's further towards the rear of the car, and their left/right distance should be the same, so either bolt hole width spacing will work.

Okay so you just need me to measure across from one bolt to the other from left to right. Is this correct? You need the distance between the two bolts if so i can do that for you tomorrow

You are 100% correct.
Sorry for the late reply, but I've been overly busy at work.

That's not the service manual, it's the body repair supplement and it comes separate. I have one for the 93-95 coupe, I guarantee it has all the body dimensions you can ever want and then some.

I'll have to see if we have access to the body repair shop manual supplements.
If the supplements only have the factory drawings, then I can already tell you that they don't have the dimension I need.
The drawing for the rear bumper reinforcement bar for the 1996-2000 Civics doesn't call out the left/right bolt hole spacing (same for 1990-1993 Integra), but the drawing for the 1992-1995 Civics does.
I know, doesn't make sense to me either, but that's why I'm asking here.

If this is so important to you, I find it hard to believe that you haven't just gone out and measured your own car. Or a friend's car. Or a car at the junk yard. Surely the people here can't be your ONLY source of information.

I have an EG, don't have a friend with an EK, and all local junkyards have been uncooperative or don't have an EK.

Central VA, 5 different yards within a two hour drive, two within one hour, and one within 15 minutes. I'm also curious what you so desperately need this extremely obscure measurement for.

EK9 CTR rear bumper bar on an EG.
Finally got access to our body repair manuals, and they don't have dimensions for the bolt holes, but there are a pair of measurement datums 906 mm apart, so I think I may just wing it & see if the bar fits.
