The Rules & Process
VANLAB FITTING GUIDELINES 5
IMPORTANT!
You MUST understand the Rules & Process before you begin,
as they need to be followed to assemble your kit correctly.
Refer back to them regularly during the build process.

The Rules
VANLAB FITTING GUIDELINES
The 4” Batten has 2 holes on one side and 1 hole on the
another
—
Always screw the 2 first (A)
—
Then the 3rd (B)
Batten Panel Symbols
The panels have symbols to show you the location of the batten and how to fix
the part. You have 3 symbols: The Rectangle, The Crosses and
A
B
Place the batten over the box on the
face you are looking at.
Screw into panel from the side you’re
looking at and screw through batten
first and into the panel
Place the batten on the opposite face
of the panel.
Screw from the side you’re looking at.
In this case, screw through the panel
first and into the batten
6
The 6” batten have 2 holes in the same orientation. They are
used for the Section B hatches only
—
The 8” batten have 3 holes. They are used for the rails (see
Page 19 & 24) only
The Rectangle
The Line
Place the batten over the box, on the
face you are looking at.
BUT, screw from the opposite side
The Crosses

VANLAB FITTING GUIDELINES 7
For anytime you see ‘The Rectangle’. Partially drive the screws
into the battens separately before fastening to the panel for
easier pilot hole location.
!Be careful to line up the pilot holes with the screw as the batten
may split if they are incorrectly aligned.
Don’t worry if you do, as we have provided plenty of spares!
Key Tip!
Find Panel A3, as A3 has both ‘The
Rectangle’ and ‘The Line’ symbol
-The battens will be screwed in as
pictured..
-You can see that the rectangle
means the batten is on the front
face of the panel
-The line denotes that the block is
on the back side of the panel.
-Both are screwed in from the front
face of the panel
Let’s try an example:
For anytime you see ‘The Line’. Partially drive the screws
through the panel separately before fastening to the batten.
Same approach, but the opposite order.
