Re: Wood floor replacment bolts and metal strips.

Yes they are available. Forward your zip code so I can figure the shipping costs.

For the rear strip I will need a measurement from the drivers side to the passenger side in order to correctly place the countersunk holes.

There needs to be a 1/16" gap between the side flange and the rear piece on the drivers side. (Photo #1). Don't include that 1/16" in the measurement of the hole layout.

Then record the center of the hole measurement as you move from the drivers side towards the passenger side.
For example #1 hole at 2 5/16"
#2 hole at 9 3/4"
#3 hole at 15 13/16"
and so forth 1 through 6. See photo #3

The last hole (circled in orange I will leave to you to drill as there are too many variables to allow me to drill it accurately. (As I found out doing mine. Last photo. ). You will need to either square the hole as I did or drill it over size so the square part of the carriage bolt will pass through.

See the link for further information (Post 542 specifically but lots of floor information on other pages) and by all means ask questions if I've confused you.

P.S. the front strip is an original one shown in the #2 thru #5 photos in first post. It has extra holes courtesy of a PO.
