MVM MODIFICATION INSTRUCTIONS

MVM Instructions | Page 2

Before you begin to form your MVM, please make sure it looks exactly

the way it does in the top picture to the left.

To begin, use a marking pen to draw a line on the MVM as

depicted in red in the middle picture to the left. Note: See red

lines in middle picture for guidance.

Use tin snips to cut along this line. When this line has been

made completely, continue by bending along the yellow line as

depicted in the middle picture. You will need to make this about

120° angle. If the bracket gets bent or the paint chips, use a small

hammer to pound out the imperfections, then a black paint to

cover up the paint.

Now go back to step 4 on the previous page to ﬁ nish installation
