Yes. The one I put in my car was tight, I think I took a carbide reamer and got enough clearance to get the bolt in. Call whoever you got it from and see if they have any more they could measure to see if it's different.

What brand is it?

 

Is the cage nut stuck? It may just need to be broken loose as it should move around for adjustment purposes.

I called goodmark customer service and he said he didn't have one to measure.

Yeah, I broke them loose. I couldn't see around the perimeter to get to the nut either way. I'm going to play with it some more. The more I think of it, I have to be missing something. Hopefully. Maybe I can grind down the edge as Chevelle Doctor said to be able to see the nut.

 

Also, thanks for the replies! :thumbsup:

 

I'll measure the '69 I have at the shop on the rotisserie and see what it measures. Should be the same for '70-72 as the frames interchange...

 

Thanks, I would be interested to know! I didn't get a chance to mess with it yesterday.

 

Same issue I had with my 1 piece truck. After measuring 100 time I realized the trunk pan was bowed upward. After reinstalling I put some weights in the trunk. It helped a lot but it was still tight.

 

Yep, the one at the shop measures 43 1/2 across the centers of the mount nuts. I'd call up Goodmark and do some questioning. I wonder if the Dynacorn floor is any better?

 

It is, that's what I used on mine. No issues of this nature with it. It was one of the nicest fitting pieces on the car.

Well, I ended up getting it in by relieving the outside of the cage nut holes. Thanks for the suggestion Dave!

Just an FYI, when the nut bottomed against the cage towards the middle, front, or back of the car, the outer edge of the threads lined up with the edge of the hole. But if I bottomed out the nut towards the outside/quarters, half of the nut would go underneath the outer edge of the hole. That material wanted to be removed anyway.

Anyway, it's in. Thanks again.

is it a chl? i noticed that they dont have all the plates and the spare tire hold down included.

 

Yes, the box says CHL with a Goodmark sticker and serial numbers on it. No spare tire hold down.
