mounted to a plastic or similar-type dash panel, either fender washers or a field-fabricated metal backing
plate should be utilized on the opposite side of the panel from the bracket.
8.4.2 Installing the Mounting Bracket and Control Head
Follow this procedure to mechanically install the control head’s mounting bracket and attach the head to
it:
1. Obtain the mounting bracket from the conversion kit. The bracket is illustrated in Table 4-3 on page
14. Also, Figure 8-1 on page 44 shows the bracket and a remote-mount control head.
The control head can be attached above its mounting surface, like on the top of a dash
panel. In that case, the bracket is located below the head, as shown in Figure 8-1.
Alternately, the head can be attached below its mounting surface, such as underneath a
dash panel. In that case, the bracket is located above the head.

2. Using the mounting bracket as a template, mark and drill mounting holes into the mounting surface as
required. When positioning the bracket, note that the chamfered edge-slots on each end of the bracket
must face in the same direction as the control head’s display
will need to face. In a typical vehicle
installation, this is towards the rear of the vehicle.
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.
3. If necessary, deburr the newly drilled holes.
