footboard itself where the expansion part is,if you know

ok then make sure that the side of floorboard is not catching on chamber.........
also ,and this is very common............check that the floorboard runner studs are short enough to clear........
usually noticeable by corrosponding marks on ex chamber body.............

yes, it is noticeable where the studs are catching,i will re-fit
the floor board and cut the studs down,i will also try to adjust
the mounting bracket although there doesn't look like there is
much play there.
