    I paid for this gem:
    I understand the terms but the bolts to floor relationship seems to make no sense. I have the nominal figures to fall back to. ( which are self explanatory)

    After many rereadings and the passing of days I do not understand this at all and have asked the author to
    rephrase. (please) Just why do N.A.'s provide laymen with such language?

    Says that at 25" spacing, the siding (thickness fore and aft) is 1 7/16" plus the diameter of the bolts, and the molding (up and down) is 4 7/8". It sounds impressive though:)
