drill and the cable hole with a 5/16” drill. Mount the bracket to the vehicle using the (2) provided #14 X 3/4” long sheet metal screws

(See Figure 2 below).

platform surface of the Pedestal Bracket then through the cable hole in the Pedestal Bracket’s mounting ange. Mount the beacon to

the bracket using the (4) provided #6-32 X 3/8” long black machine screws (See Figure 2 below). It is advisable to apply RTV sealant
