DIAMOND PLATE / STEEL CORNERS
All “CORNERS” are designed to be placed over the existing factory metal body. During shipping and
handling your aluminum corners may be slightly altered but diamond plate aluminum is easy to work with.
Make any slight modification needed to enhance their fit.
Because all body tubs are not built the same, some small modifications to the Corners may be required for a
proper fit.
On some late 1940 models the body tub is different than most flat fender versions. If you have a WAR903,
and it is slightly short of the wheel well when fitted to the vehicle, you may want to trade for the
WAR903WO (without cut outs for wheel well openings). You can then scribe and make your own cutouts.
Rivets are supplied for mounting your corners to the body tub. If you prefer you can use self tapping bolts.
You do not need to seal behind the Corners as the Aluminum will not corrode and the steel versions are
powder coated to protect against rust. You may want to spray any exposed metal with primer before
installing your Corners.
1. Remove all tail lights, side markers, the gas tank rubber filler housing, and any other item
that may be in the way of your installation process. If your Corners do not have precut holes,
you will want to decide what items you will want to reinstall on your vehicle and then cut
openings as needed.
2. Hold your Corners in place and mark where you may want to add a hole or cut away material.
Note: A hacksaw or saber saw with a “metal” blade will work well for this process.
Complete all prep work, if any is needed, before installing your Corners.
3. If using the “pop” rivets provided to attach your Corners, you will need to secure a drill, a
3/16” drill bit, and a “pop” rivet tool. Drill your mounting holes using the 3/16” drill bit.
4. Lift your Corners into place. Drill your “pop” rivet holes starting near the tailgate and
working around to the front of the vehicle. The holes should be about 12” apart. Be careful
not to drill through anything that may be behind the area you are drilling.
5. Install the Corners using the “pop” rivets supplied. Be sure to press your Corners into place
as you work around from the rear towards the front for best fit.
6. Repeat the process described above for the other side.
