Hi Scott,
I haven't taking any measurements, Just a rough check and on mine looks like
it'll fit both ways, lengthwise comes close to floorboard but should clear
with no problem with more room sideways, I'm going to install lengthwise.
Was going to make/have a plate made but got laze and ordered one from
Cinnabar $20, P/N 3171. If you want some #s let me know where and I'll get
it.
