30” center of slot to center of slot. The forward tubes often need to be bent one way or the other to get the body centered left to right.

Thank you Jeff!

as jeff mentioned, those "outriggers" may need to be moved. get your body on and centered (measure from shock tower to the wheel well lip...the hood opening is not symmetric so don't use that as a reference) and you might need to bend those QJ mount plates. Use a longer 2x4 and a sledge to persuade the 3/4" tubing in or out. I think my DS needed to be moved over about 1/2" towards the center of the car.
I had to move mine about 3/8 to the right. Used a ratchet strap to move the left measured from a fixed point. Hit the right with a mallet to reset the gap. my body is perfectly centered over my front tires.
