6. Using the bracket as a template, and/or the dimensional information shown in Figure 7-3, mark and
drill at least four (4) mounting holes into the mounting surface as required per the type of hardware
used.
Before drilling holes and/or installing mounting screws, verify these operations will not
damage or interfere with any existing vehicle component (the fuel tank, a fuel line, the
transmission housing, existing vehicle wiring, etc.). Always check to see how far the
mounting screws will extend below the mounting surface prior to installation. Always
deburr drilled holes before installing screws.
7. Temporarily remove the bracket and deburr all of the newly drilled holes.
8. If necessary, apply an approved paint or rust-inhibitor at the holes in the mounting surface.
9. Set the bracket back into place.
10. Install and tighten the mounting screws/hardware.
11. Verify the bracket is firmly secured to the mounting surface. A secure mount prevents unreasonable
vibration, which could damage the radio and/or cause its cable connections to loosen.
12. If the rear of the radio is easily accessible when the radio is positioned in the selected position within
the bracket, it is recommended that the radio be temporarily inserted into the bracket. Otherwise, do
not mount the radio into the bracket at this time, because several cable connections must be made at
the rear of the radio.
