Option 2, Stanchion-Fit Cr

ossbars:

emporarily fit pad assemblies to stanchions (Do NOT install pad clamp blocks at this time).

2. Fit plug and 1/4-20 x 7/8 cap screws into two stanchions, attach from bottom of stanchion using 1/4

flat washer and 1/4-20 nylock nut as shown in illustration to right. Slide stanchions onto one end of

each crossbar

. Insuring that crossbar ends are butted against stanchion plugs, drill 3/16 hole to

accommodate Drive Rivets as shown.

ap Drive Rivet mandrel pin firmly with hammer until flush

with rivet head.

3. Slide remaining stanchions onto opposite ends of each crossbar to spacing appropriate for the vehicle roof.

4. Position the stanchion/crossbar assemblies in the desired locations. Spacing between crossbars should be

determined by vehicle roof length and the load(s) that will be carried.

5. Using non-permanent marker

precisely

mark completely around mounting pads, being careful not to shift the assemblies while marking.

6. Remove pads from stanchions, and re-position pads at marked locations.

NOTE:

o insure correct

re-installation of stanchions into pads, pads must be mounted exactly in position as marked.

7. Mark the two outer holes of each pad and drill 3/16 holes through roof core.

Do not drill for center

hole in pads!!. ***NOTE:

If installing outside core area or in roof less than 1/2 thick, go to Step 10b

NOW***

From inside cap or roof, use 9/32 drill bit to ream out all drilled holes

only

HELPFUL HINT

: If the truck cap or roof has a fabric liner attached to the inside of the cap or

roof, place a long nail or screw down through mounting holes to aid in locating holes in liner

8. Assemble the propeller tee nuts and retaining washers with flange side of washer down toward floor of

bed or vehicle and barrel of tee nut toward roof (see illustration above). Press barrel of tee nuts into the

9/32 holes until flush with roof interior

, tapping in with mallet or hammer if necessary

9. Install 3/16x3/8x1/32 Neoprene washers on all #10-24x1 machine screws.

10. Remove liner from Pad gaskets and position

precisely

where marked in Step 3. Select appropriate following instruction (a or b) for type of installation

being performed:

Installing in cor

e ar

ea (see illustration above):

Insert #10-24x1 machine screws down through pads and roof, screw into tee nuts using minimal

downward pressure to prevent forcing tee nuts out of holes. Be sure each machine screw has a neoprene washer

. Do not overtighten, as excessive

screw torque may damage fiber

glass layers and/or core material. Use of a liquid thread lock on machine screws is recommended. Break away any

excessive screw shank with pliers if necessary (if 1/4 or more extends below tee nut) to enable plastic screw cover to snap onto retainer washer

Installing outside cor

e ar

ea or r

oof thickness under 1/2 (see illustration to right):

(T
wo people may

be required for this step) Insert #10-24x1 machine screws down through pads. Place 1 1/8 retainer washer

against inside of roof, followed by Stainless Steel flat washer and lock nut. T

ighten securely

. Break away

any excessive screw shank flush with bottom of lock nut with pliers if necessary to enable plastic screw

cover to snap onto retainer washer

1. Snap black plastic screw covers onto retaining washers.

12. Reinstall stanchion/crossbar assemblies into pads (Do NOT install pad blocks at this time). W

ith stanchion/crossbar

assemblies temporarily installed, mark end of crossbars on end extending through stanchion at end of cavity (see

illustration at lower right).

13. Remove stanchion/crossbar assemblies from pads. Remove free stanchion from crossbar

, and

squar

e cut

the crossbars as

marked. Attach remaining stanchions to crossbars using procedure outlined in Step 2 at the top of this page.

14. Reinstall stanchion/crossbar assemblies into pads and install pad blocks using 6Mx12mm cap screws. T

ighten securely
