I assume a hole could be drilled in the mounting plate to accommodate studs that are 13" apart?

There would be no need to do that since they thought ahead and have slotted holes all the way across to accommodate that action. If you really wanted to and had a very good drill or drill press you could put a hole though to answer your question.

You probably won't need too, there are 1 inch wide holes all long the width that support about 17" of space between the furthest points you can use.

Doing something like that will only void the warranty. Perform at your own risk.

Yes, It's possible. Although there wouldn't be pre-drilled holes to show the placement.

Geez, the distance wouldn't be a problem so I guess it would depend on what you'd want to use for anchors and hardware. I'm not overly familiar with metal studs. If you're confident you have a good solid hardware that would fit the bill I'd say it'd be no problem. Is it in an exposed application or covered in drywall?

The mount holes are on the ends of each bar and about 4" apart. There are only four.

There is a small border of the white backing material, it has some holes and grommets in it already, so you could make additional mounting holes of similar size in other places on the perimeter.

13x5.5 inches two studs one on each end located 1/2 way between the top and the bottom

from center of hole to center of hole they ar 15 13/16"--the outside edge of hole is 1" from the end of the board-if you have 16" spacing between studs the holes should fall on a stud

Don't know how that is possible because the mount points are 16" apart. There are 3 of them, one in the middle and one on each side. If you have 24' center studs and you put the center mount point there, the side mounts will not hit your studs.

There are mounting holes in each of the 4 corners spaced as follows:(Vertically 13 3/4 inches)(Horizontally 16 inches)

If the mounting hole lines up with a stud you will have to provide your own screw or in my case a 1/4 lag bolt. If there is hollow space behind the mounting hole the provided hardware will suffice and is quite sturdy.

The hold down bolts are 4" apart. It would be easy to redrill the mount and move them to a different distance if needed.

For safety, drilling into a stud is preferred. If not possible, I would suggest using a drywall anchoring device.

The screw holes are just about 17" on the widest one. The over all length of the mount is over 18" though and there is room enough to drill a hole in the mount to make it 18" if you wanted to go through the trouble and have a drill to go through a plate like this. Great that builders are always messing things up by trying to save a buck on a build! I would have no issue drilling a hole and putting this up at 18". It is doable. Or you could just hit one stud up real solid and use anchors for your other screws if you didn't want to put a hole next to the line of holes.

No, there should be predrilled holes, even if they are hard to see. Just twist the provided studs into those holes

will accomodate mounting holes that are spaced : 3" x 3" , 4" x 4" , 8"h x 4"v , and 8" x 8"

Yes. Not much but inch or two. I can check if you give me exact distance of studs.

I suppose you could, the holes would need to go all the way through, but it comes with 2 mounting plates with an assortment of predrilled holes. You might be able to get the right configuration.
