Question
Does anyone make or do you know where I can get detailed dimensions/measurements for in between the frame rails and the same plus photos of the core support? I want to be sure the core support I got is correctly made and that what appears to be unbent frame rails is what it appears to be.

Answer
CHECK YOUR LOCAL BODY SHOP AS THEY HAVE DIMENSIONS FOR THE CORE SUPPORT. IF YOU ARE PURCHASING AN AFTERMARKET.....NOT MADE BY HONDA ....YOU ARE GOING TO BE HAVING ALIGNMENT ISSUES. THE AFTERMARKET SUPPORTS ARE NOT MADE WITH THE SAME GAUGE METAL AND OFTEN THE MOUNTING HOLES HAVE TO BE REALIGNED
FOR A DECENT FIT.
