Step 1 – Measure and Mark Mount Locations
Measure your desired mounting
length to determine how many
Strut Channels needed for your
installation.
Measure the height off the floor
needed for mounting the strut
channel for your application. Be
sure to keep strut channel
horizontal and square to the
floor.
Determine the length needed for
the first strut channel, trim if
needed to get as many mounting
locations as possible per strut
channel.
We recommend a minimum of four
plus nuts per strut channel.
Be sure to align strut holes with a structural member of vehicle.
Mark locations for plus nuts.
Measure twice, drill and cut once.
Step 2 – Install Plus Nuts
DO NOT drill beyond depth of floor or upper installation surface. Always check
for wires, fuel tanks and lines, brake lines and other important vehicle
functionality items prior to drilling and installing all products.
Plus nuts are not included in the 48009 hardware kit. Use the plus nuts included with the folding
shelves.
At each marked location, drill hole using 25/64” drill bit and appropriate sized drill-bit stop collar. If
25/64” drill bit is not available, a 3/8” drill bit can be used, although it may be necessary to tap in
the plus nuts.
Insert 1/4” x 2-1/4” hex head bolt through 1/4” flat washer and plus nut installation tool, and then
screw bolt into plus nut. Knurled end of plus nut tool must be directed away from bolt head and
contacting plus nut.
Insert plus nut into hole with plus nut tool attached.
Using the 9/16” box wrench, hold the plus nut tool stationary and then tighten hex head bolt until
plus nut is tightly gripping and does not spin when hex bolt is loosened.
DO NOT overtighten plus nut.
Using the 9/16” box wrench, hold the plus nut tool stationary to remove the 1/4” hex head bolt.
