2.1
Installer’s Note: The Channel orientation differs from the
typical Prime Design Ford Transit rack installations. Apply
Anti-Seize to all M8 T Bolt studs, then attach to Mounts
using the indicated hardware. Do not tighten until Step 2.2
Prior to assembling the Channels and
hardware, the OEM roof holes must be
chased using an M8 x 1.25 Chasing or
Thread Cleaning tap and uid. Doing so
will ensure accurate torque is achieved.
