'29 Running Board Measurement Sought
 

I can't get one repo running board to align with the holes in the braces mounted to the frame. Either the braces are pushed in, or the bolt brackets spot-welded on the bottom of the board are located incorrectly.
Does anyone have a measurement from the center of any of the bell-shaped mounting bolts to the edge of the running board trim?

I measured 1-1/16 inches from the outer edge of the running board (with trim installed) to the center of the square hole where the bell head bolt goes.

Welcome to the world of "repro" parts...I would of sent them back and got in touch with Bert's in Denver and got some original ones.

But that is just me (and a few others I know).
