is the pan on tabs or a thin piece of sheet metal running length of the rails?
as i recall rupps were tabbed when the floor pan was aluminum.
typically those holes are about middle of tab but wasn't like a robot was building these things so they could be anywhere.
if it's thin strip of sheet metal was probably done post factory by a racer.
either way don't worry about factory spacing just redo it in a way you find pleasing to look at when done.
be sure to use steel rivits aluminum ones will fail when you run the kart for any amount of track time.
hope his helps.
