Does anybody know the measurements of the rear ficm bracket that goes on top of the holes for an 05?? Or just the measurements of the tabs on the ficm??

Right??
Yes, that's how they come, you're correct. You can mount them however you want though. The 05+ just use a large acorn style nut. I had a brain fart, I deal with too many of them and have rubber grommets flying everywhere.

So there's not actually a metal bracket or anything that goes over the tabs?? Just the acorn nuts?? If that's the case I have never had those in the 2 1/2 years I have had the truck and didn't realize it the 20 or so times I have taken the ficm off lol!!!

Is that on the from or back bullseye??
Sorry I should have specified. The back has the bracket, ficms, the 1/2x3 tab, then 2ea bolts. The front has the bracket, ficms, a bracket to screw your a lot filter to, then that is tighten down by 2ea washers and bolts. Hope that help clarify it.
My 06 has the bracket that bolts to the valve cover, with 4 studs pointing up, the FICM sits down on the studs and then the acorn nuts center it on the studs, that's it. No washers, no other brackets, just the acorn nuts. The earlier one's used a solid cast aluminum bracket mounted to the valve cover, with 4 studs again, and then rubber grommets and nuts to hold the FICM. So the rubber mounts used to be @ the FICM mounting, but the aluminum brackets must of cost too much, so they went to the cheesy stamped steel like the newer ones have and rubber mounted the bracket at the valve cover, now the FICM is hard mounted to the bracket.
