Step 2 –Determine Location
Determine the desired location of the vise mount and insert into the vehicle with the knob on
the arm assembly is closest to the door. Typically these are installed near a door way so the
vise mount can be extended outside of the vehicle.
Some location examples are shown below.
Ensure the doors can be closed without interfering with the knob on the vise mount.
Locate the holes in the feet of the base.
Be sure these locations are safe to drill through the floor. Look underneath the vehicle to
ensure there are no critical components. The strongest installation allows for access from
underneath vehicle.
Mark through the four mounts of the base onto the floor. If the mounts do not sit flat on top
of a ridge in the floor, the spacers can be used to take up the vacant space.
Move the vise mount assembly out of the way to show the marked locations.
Drill each location using a 25/64” bit. Use a drill stop to limit the depth of the drill.

Step 3 –Install Vise Mount
Determine if the installation will use plus nuts or through
bolting. If the holes are accessible from the underside of the
vehicle, it is recommended to use the fender washer and
nyloc nut. If the hole is only accessible from the inside of the
vehicle, use the plus nut.
If using the plus nuts, install them now.
Place vise mount on top of the plus nuts, or the previously
drilled holes. Use the nylon spacers to take up vacant space
if installing on a ridge to allow rigid mounting.
If using the plus nut, attach the vise mount to the floor using
a 1/4" x 1-1/2” hex head bolt, a 1/4" split lock washer, a
1/4” flat washer.
If through bolting, attach the vise mount to the floor using a
1/4" x 1-1/2” hex head bolt, a 1/4” flat washer, a 1/4"
fender washer, and a 1/4" nyloc nut. The fender washer
goes on the bottom side of the floor.
Repeat at all four locations.
