Hey Robert, the distance between the threaded holes of the bike rack top tray part # SPN-101 is 5-3/4 inches. 5-3/4 inches is also the distance between the center of each bike frame cradle as well. What bike rack do you have?

Thank you: I have the Swagman 3 bike rack, post-2009, which needs the P120 top plate, which doesn't seem to be available. (I see you have the P112 top plate, but that is for the older version of the Swagman 3). The one I need is 6 inches between the center of each bike frame cradle, and 7 inches between the 2 threaded holes. Thanks again, but it would seem that the SPN-101 cannot substitute for this.
