Does anyone have a picture of this? The ones I have are not even remotely close. They look more like C3031's the ones I got. Sux i got them 2 years ago.

Looks like Moroso is telling me that rail is the correct one. doesn't look even remotely close to me.

I polled a few others and it seems that the C3035 are just a poor design and do not actually conform to the contour of the 3rd gen floor. it just stinks I paid $200 for these and they are basically useless. Live and learn I guess.

I realize the hole isn't important for your fitment problems. But it is important in determining if you have the C3035 or C3031. If the measurements on my picture are correct, you do in fact have the C3035 not the C3031.

Looks correct. If you see my second picture, that rail is not even close to fitting. The hump on the one I received is round where the 3rd gen rail actually comes up stays straight for about a foot before coming back down. It also has a slight twist and is not perfectly straight front to back. The hole also is way farther back. I am at work and dont have an exact measurement but the whole really isn't as important as the curve over the tire. Ty for your help btw.

The C3031 and C3035 are very close in design. From the first picture you sent me, it looks like the rear spring perch hole is located about 12-1/2" from the end of the rail. Is that correct? I made a rough example in MS paint to better show you what I'm looking for with the dimensions. Please see attached image.

They seem to be miss labeled. The part number on box says C3035 68-76 Nova Ventura. The actual rails look like they are C3031. The shape is not even remotely close. They were on a shelf since I purchased them. This is the first time I held up to car. I attached a picture.

Hello,

Were they miss boxed/labeled or did you just never notice since they just went up on a shelf?

I bought C3035 frame rails for my 72 nova about a year ago. I have just gotten to installing them and they sent me C3031’s. Since It was so long ago, Summit has told me too bad. Obviously I won’t be buying from Summit anymore. I was wondering if you could help me. I have everything the way it was sent to me.



Thanks.

if you can get your money back, try these guys, we used their rails on the Mustang for the Kennedy Brothers--very nice stuff:

Here's their Nova rails:

Yeah those look much better. Can't get my money back been too long. I'm going to use the stock ones off my 73 donor.

I wanted to update everyone on my previous communication with Moroso. As you can see from the email below they contacted me out of the blue to agree to credit me for the crappy rails I bought.

Hello Ronald,

If you would please send me your shipping information (name, address, phone
number) we would like to send out a call tag for the return of the frame
rails you were having an issue with. Once we receive the frame rails we
would like to offer you a company credit for the rails through Moroso.
