Need help on a measurement-65/66

[ratbonesxx]

I'm trying to find the dimension between the front frame rails where the lower front cross brace bolts on (under the shock towers). A center to center at the bolt holes would be a big help! A measurement between the holes on the crossbrace itself should work. I'm replacing the left framerail and my original brace was bent; I have a repro brace but it seems too wide and don't trust it w/o checking it first.

A little too small to read.

I tried, but my oil pan is in the way. To get an accurate measurement, someone with their motor out already...

i just had my cross member out to fix a leaking oil pan gasket (note to self; dont ever buy another 4 piece pan gasket) it measures 29 3/8" from the center of the bolt holes...

Mine is measuring 29 5/8" . Does anyone have a "Body Assembly Manual"? Just wondering if they have better measurements than the "Service Manual". The measurements in my Service Manual are definately misprints. As of now, it looks like mine is 1/4" big.
