Rear-set Layout Question

Umm been thinking that I might mill up some simple brackets to allow me to use my existing pegs/levers in a rear-set position.
Clearly, the fancy brands allow lots and lots of positions BUT I suspect that most people only ever use one once they've got themselves sorted.
Just out of interest, and I know this is a question like how long is a piece of string, where do most people locate their pegs relative to the originals?
In answering this I'd like to try to see if there is a pattern (correlation) between height and offsets (backwards and upwards).
Be keen to know:

Height Rearward offset from original peg position Upward offset from original peg position

I'm assuming that the relationship between lever and peg remains a constant because I don't believe anyone supplies shorter longer levers (or do they?).
If there is a good correlation then why wouldn't somebody just produce a plain blank bracket in which it would be possible to drill a single hole to mount the original controls? I know that the links may be shorter/longer but that is not rocket science to figure out a solution.

Cheers
do you mean like these??

Bugga. The web site won't let me actually buy them. I guess they are still trading?

Will try again later.

Judging by the photo your answer would have been up ~2cm back ~3cms.
Here you go, the owner of cycle control took ill and had to pass of his business to a friend to take over so you can now get the parts here

FYI, I think I have mine in the same place as in the pic shown already.
Set mine up and back one inch,,,,,

Thinking of making a pair up myself.... do they really make that much of a difference? Do the originals scrape when You have you knee on the deck?? Just wondering as i'm planning my first track day on the Duke soon!

There is also a "spacer" on the bolt that attaches to the pedal itself that corrects for the plate thickness that you mentioned, you can see it in the pic,, the only thing was that with mine the bolt supplied was a bit too long and I had to cut a bit off as it was bottoming out in the pedal too soon ,,, only prob found was that bolt in the hardware pack supplied in the kit,,,,,I did install a pair of black SDR sets ,,I don't know if that had anything to do with it being too long,,, it all works fine know,,
I have the Cycle Control rearesets on mine, but if you get some, don't stress too much about where you move your pegs to, as due to the length of the various linkages, there's actually only a couple of positions that really work (you need to keep the push-rod thingy at the right angle, and the adjuster plate for that is less adjustable than the main bracket) - so it's not like you have a wide choice.

Mine have ended up back and upwards about 5cm, and like anything, you get used to it - and it's MUCH better on track.
