US 81mm mortar cloverleaf

Hi all!
I'm looking for someone who has the connecting rod for a US 81mm mortar cloverleaf...looks like this-

It held 6 short motars (about 38.1cm or 15" in length).

I need the dimensions of the rod...the overall length and length of threads at each end. I know the diameter is 7.9375cm (5/16"). That's also the size of the hole in the center section. That would make the threads themselves 5/16" X 18 NC, same as used on the 75mm HOW / 81mm mortar (long rounds) cloverleafs.

Any help would be appreciated.

Eric
