Rib slider position

[gilesjuk]

I've started to install my rib slider bed in my T6 SWB. The clearcut campers instructions say 340mm from the holes on the back trim to the back of the frame. Their choice of words isn't helpful, do them mean the top edge (thin part of the angle) or the bottom edge (thick part of the angle) as looking at the frame? Can't really tell from the picture since the arrows not even align with the centre of the hole either.

My interpretation from the info you’ve given, is to measure flush with the floor from the bottom of the frame to the centre of the hole(s).
I have a 112 RIB Slider in a LWB that I can measure if required. I think the measurement to the rear would be consistent on both models.

Thanks, this is the exact wording:

"The approximate position of the frame is 340mm from the back of the frame to the centre line of the holes
in the plastic threshold covers"

I guess back of the frame is the back of the angle. I might send them an email just to be sure.

The holes for the back trim are all in different positions as well. I measured from the back of the frame to the hole in the picture and it's 300mm where I have my seat at the moment. Which seems way off. I think I'm going to have do it using a right angle bar behind the the bumper as a reference point.

Mine is exactly 340mm from the bottom of the box frame to centre of the hole shown. Suggest you measure accordingly and keep slider frame square by measuring off of the 2 outer holes.

Thanks. I'll do that. I bought a dry wall T square as well which I'll use to double check.
