The holes on the replacement part should be round and not oval.
There should be plenty of good used originals available.
I’m sure I have a set of them.
I'm cutting/pasting cause I'm not seeing posts still.
Kelley,
This is, if I may, the curse of aftermarket - and for us, parts that don't quite match. It could be that like other parts, what's being made here is a "one size fits all" approach with the explanation of either, "Yes, this will fit your jeep," or, "No one else has complained," approach to explaining why it doesn't match.
I've been through this with a couple of parts myself. Some I've returned, others got altered.
A good choice would be to go with originals with Oldtime if you can.
I crawled under and measured (from the same angle that you're showing) from the inside face, where the rivet heads are, to the hole center and got about 1" (could've been 1 1/16") as the rivet heads and the bolt itself on that outrigger were getting in the way. That spring attachment add-on bracket puts your pictured outrigger at #2 driver's side just behind the pedals.
I compared to the next two headed back to the rear. Both the #3 (under tank) and #4 (rear floor riser) measured out further at 1 1/4". I've got some fitment issues with my body that could affect where the bolt is centered (possible variations) but the outriggers are original. This makes me think that what I measured might be correct. A better idea would be to crosscheck with originals (with no body to interfere or bolts that have been there from the beginning) to see if in fact those different outriggers are the same or different with bolt hole location.
After confirmation on where the hole is located, another alternative could also be, weld/re-drill or try to see if Walck's has a "shorter" one (in case the hole locations are different).
