Is there a correct orientation of the flat for mounting purposes?

The flat area faces the center of the car(straight cut fore/aft). If you look at the bottom of the floor board you will see a relief in the board which is the reason for the orientation.

Thank you Marco. I'm I correct in saying that the flat is vertical on the left?

Tom, are you the gentleman that has been trying to reach me in the last week or so? If so, my apologies to you. I have been traveling for more than two weeks at metal shaping events and the Minnesota location has poor cell phone reception and I am an EXTREMELY poor 'smart' phone operator. Have lost some data.

Additionally, I blew up my left knee on Monday. May have more computer time, but am bed/couch ridden until at least next Wednesday. PM me for my phone number, and I will do any thing I can to answer your questions.

if it is Not you, please dis-regard this post.
