Running Board step plates
I purchased the ford script step plates for my running boards and cannot get the inner and outer mounting holes to land on ridges. It is either the inner or the outer can be on a ridge but not both. Has anybody else run into this problem? My running boards are not original and came from Midwest Early Ford.

I didn't put these on my truck ( I didn't want to upset Abe 
)
But every picture I've seen, the outer holes are lined up with the running board rib and the inner holes are not. So I'm assuming that some sort of spacer was used.

I had the same problem. Dennis Carpenter reproduction running boards from original Ford toollng. Dennis Carpenter told me the tooling was worn our and the ridges were at different heights. I used a few small plastic washers to level the step plates onto the uneven ridges of the running boards.
