Default Floor board drawings

I have the drawings by Steve Watrous for the lower front floor board but it appears to have missing dimension. I have drawings form other sources but they are all missing this dimension.
Does anyone have the dimension that is hi-lited on the attached dwg.
Thanks

If you cut it to 5 1/2 inches you will be really close. Here is the idea: The total width is 16 7/8. Looking at the left side, there are two measurements, one of 4 19/64 and one of 7 5/64, which appears to be very close to the line you are looking for. 4 19/64 + 7 5/64 = 11 24/64 = 11 3/8. With the total of 16 7/8 - 11 3/8 you end up with a 5 1/2. Which looks like where you would like to be.

It is 5.5 inches all the numbers you need are on the left side of the drawing you posted.

In the first drawing, lay a straight edge along the witness line at the top of the 4 19/64" dimension line and does not line with cut out in the center of the floor board.
Mike, thanks for the view showing the 5 11/16" dim. I'll add it to my drawing.

Just cut a cardboard pattern that fits your car & make floor boards accordingly!
