1. how much of a gap is there between the framerails and the sheet as the floor rises to meet the underside of the firewall? I remember there was a bit and possibly some spacers in there, but mine right now has over 3" and I'm thinking I should contour it a bit to lie against the rails more.

2. Similarly, my tranny cover also has a big gap where it sits on the floor. Again, where the boards meet the firewall along this contour. Is there supposed to be one, and it just gets filled with the gasket?
