[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 499069, member: 15636"] With that huge angle difference, perhaps a 'shim' would be best. Buy a heap cutting board at the dollar store, cut out a chunk the width of the rib and length at least as long at the longest leg of the angle ... then figure out a way to cut the angle. But cutting board LDPE (low-density polyethylene) cuts REALLY easy and with a good eye ... you should be able to set the piece in a vice and use a hacksaw or other think kerf saw to cut a few shims. If the angle isn't as severe, to be honest I don't worry about shims or the angles, I just set the flooring on top and lock it down ... [/QUOTE]
