WARNING
All floor mounting bolts near
the gas tank area should be
installed from the underside
of the vehicle, to guard against
the gas tank being punctured
in the event of a collision.
This would mean not using
blind fasteners in this area.
Holes drilled in this area
should be 3/8".
4. With blind fasteners installed, fas-
ten the bracket to the floor.
5. Mark and drill holes on the back of
the housing for blind fastener instal-
lation.
6. With blind fasteners installed, re-
place the housing and secure to the
bracket.
REAR MOUNT ALTERNATE
NOTE: To prevent rust from occur-
ring, touch-up any drilled holes.
1. If space is critical and/or for some
reason you cannot mount the rear in
either the preferred method or use the
Mounting Plates at the rear, you may
use the Rear Mounting Bracket.
2. Locate the center line of the hous-
ing and place the bracket flush
against the back and flush to the
floor. If necessary, you may turn the
bracket so the floor flange is under
the rear overhang of the housing. Hole
marking will be more difficult.
3. Mark only the two floor holes for
drilling. See Blind Fastener Install-
ation Instructions and cautions before
drilling.
