VL Clutch Side Rail Measurements

[wideglide38]

I wanted to ask if anyone could measure their VL clutch side rail and provide me with the measurements noted in the photo. I picked up a used rail and the bends look way off!
Thanks,
William

Do you mean the bar that the foot board attaches too? If so, I can measure mine for you.

Jim, Yes the side rail (or bar) that the footboard attaches too. The side rail I have is miss-bent and I wanted correct it. Thanks, William

OK, I will measure it tomorrow. It's dark out now... and getting cold out in the garage. I will get back to you then.

William, your photo isn't quite the same as my VL Side Rail. PM me your email and I will send you photos. But, to start off with, I will try and describe what I have in measurement way. The bends in my VL side rails Both my 30 and 36 are the same and neither one has those "sharp" bends as in your picture. The VL rail is more of a slight bend rather than a sharp angle... know what I mean?

The total length is 15 1/2" from end to end.
Mounting holes are 14 1/2 center to center
From the front floorboard mount bolt to the front "rivet" that holds on the clutch rocker unit is 2.25"
From the front rivet to the rear stud that holds on the clutch rocker unit is 1/75"
From the rear stud that holds on the clutch rocker unit to the rear floorboard mount bolt is 6"
From the rear floorboard mount bolt to the rear mounting hole is 4"

I have photos of mine and that may help you understand my measurements above. PM Contact me with your email.
