Gearhead is right the Howell 33/34 floors do not have the right left to right round rib ...only flat like those over the frame. BUT BUT I have a Bradley front floor....the rib profile is right but the exact rib length (round and flat) and position of the flat ribs over the frame are off. I dropped using Bradley for my car because they were off by too much. I looked as Howells and tried to re-profile the flat left to right ribs...their rib length and location was like OEM. The metal is too thick so after a 2 inch test on a flat rib to make round I gave up. I wish these guys would spend the extra effort to get it right. What is the point to go 95% correct and fall down on the last 5% percent. To get it exactly right I ended up using an OEM from another car.
