STEP 6. Place the Bulkhead against the B-Pillar making sure there is enough steel material behind all the
ROUND holes on the outside edges of the Bulkhead side panels to utilize the Self-Drilling Screws.
Using a center punch, mark the four Bulkhead bottom mounting holes on the floor of the van Ensure the
hole is located on the topside of the floor rib. Move the Bulkhead out of the way. Predrill the floor mounting
locations with an 1/8" drill bit, then re-drill the hole with a 3/8" drill bit. If there is a wood floor, then Floor
Mounting Spacers are required. Cut the wood floor around the 3/8" holes with the 1" hole saw, allowing
Floor Mounting Spacers to rest against the metal floor. DO NOT DRILL THROUGH THE VAN FLOOR
WITH THE HOLE SAW. (See example bolting solutions below).
NOTE: Four (4) Blind Fasteners and 5/16" Lock Washers have been provided in case through-bolting is
impossible due to heat shields, floor channels, fuel lines, etc. If Blind Fastener installation is necessary,
redrill the 3/8" mounting holes with 1/2" drill bit. See INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR BLIND
FASTENERS on page 8.

All floor mounting bolts near the fuel tank area
should be installed from the underside of the
vehicle, to guard against the fuel tank being
punctured in the event of a collision. This would
mean not using Blind Fasteners in this area.
Holes in this area should be 5/16". Ensure
ample space in roof ribs and sidewall ribs for
mounting hardware so as not to puncture
exterior roof or wall.
