Joe, I think I know what you are talking about. When I mounted my boards they had some front to back rocking/slop in them that just felt bad. I had used all of the included hardware in it's correct orientation. This was not the normal hinging up and down motion. I found some very thin stainless washers/shims at work that had the correct hold size and shimmed the mounting bolts so the slop was gone.
ok, I had a look at mine and at the instructions I used 5 years ago. The floorboards are mounted to their brackets by stepped bolts with an unthreaded part that formas the pivot and a much thinner threaded part that accepts a nut. The slop is caused because the unthreaded pivot is quite a bit longer than needed so the whole bolt can wiggle around. In my case I was able to cure the slop by putting both of the two plastic washers provided with the kit on the front mount. I only looked at the right side by the way - yours may be different.
By the way, the right hand mount (and the footpeg mount I suppose) is kept from rotating by a 5mm "spirol" pin pressed into the foot control bar. I've replaced mine with a 5mm bolt for now.
