CAUTION WARNING
All floor mounting bolts near the fuel tank area should be installed
from the underside of the vehicle, to guard against the fuel tank
being punctured in the event of a collision. This would mean not
usingBlindFastenersin thisarea. Holesinthisareashouldbe 5/16".
Ensure ample space in roof ribs and sidewall ribs for mounting
screws so as not to puncture exterior roof or wall.
Prior to drilling, so as not to cut or puncture fuel tanks, fuel lines,
brake lines, electric wires, etc., check behind or underneath drilling
and mounting locations.
To keep debris out of your eyes when checking the underside of
the vehicle, or when drilling, always wear protective eyewear.
1After determining shelf spacing, assemble
each Shelf to the End Panels by pushing the
Shelf down, with the End Panel tab entering
the pierced opening on the Shelf edge.
Fasten the Shelves to the End Panels using
four (4) 1/4-20 x 1/2" Hex Head Bolts and
1/4-20 Serrated Nuts.
2Attach the Floor Mounting Brackets to both
ends of the unit using four (4) 1/4-20 x 3/4"
Hex Head Bolts, 1/4" Flat Washers and
1/4-20 Nylon Lock Nuts.
NOTE: Floor Mounting Brackets can be
installed on the outside or inside ends of the
units. When installing two units side by side
or connecting to a Bulkhead, only one Floor
Mounting Bracket is required and should be
installed inside.
If installing more than one shelf unit, holes
in the end panels are provided for through-
bolting into the next unit for greater rigidity.

3Place the unit into your selected position
in the van, as close to the wall as possible.
Mark the four floor mounting holes where
the Floor Mounting Bracket comes in
contact with the floor ribs.
NOTE: 60" & 69" SHELF UNITS: Center
Support Legs have been added to these
units to strengthen these shelves because
of their length. (Go to step 6). If Center
Supports are needed, then mark their floor
mounting holes also. The Center Support
can face towards the unit or away from the
unit and should also contact the floor rib.
Remove the unit and pre-drill the floor
mounting locations with an 1/8" drill bit, then
re-drill the hole with a 5/16" drill bit. If there
is a floor mat, then Floor Mounting Spacers
are required. Cut the floor mat around the
5/16" holes with the 1" hole saw, allowing
Floor Mounting Spacers to rest against the
metal floor. DO NOT DRILL THROUGH
THE VAN FLOOR WITH THE HOLE SAW.
4Move the unit back into position. Fasten unit
to van floor using four (4) 1/4-20 x 1-1/4"
Hex Head Bolts, 1/4" Flat Washers, Floor
Mounting Spacers (if applicable), second set
of 1/4" Flat Washers and 1/4-20 Nylon Lock
Nuts. (See example bolting solutions below).
NOTE: One (1) Blind Fastener and Lock
Washer have been provided in case through-
bolting is impossible due to heat shields, floor
channels, fuel lines, etc. If Blind Fastener
installation is necessary, redrill the 5/16"
mounting holes with 13/32" drill bit. See
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR BLIND
FASTENERS on page 6.

NOTE: The floor bolting
solution could be a variation
on any of these three examples
with or without the floor mat.

5Three (3) Mounting Straps and Mounting
Strap Angles are provided. The Mounting
Straps can be bent to any shape and/or
used with the Mounting Angles. The
Mounting Straps should be attached to the
upper portion of the shelf unit in a manner
that would minimize movement of the unit
both front to rear and side to side. Attach
the Mounting Straps to the shelf unit through
existing holes (or drill new holes using a
5/16" drill bit) and fasten with three (3) 1/4-
20 x 5/8" Hex Head Bolts and 1/4-20 Nylon
Lock Nuts.
Fasten the other end of the Mounting
Straps by installing two to three (2-3) Blind
Fasteners in the wall or wall ribs at the
Mounting Strap locations by pre-drilling
1/8" holes and then re-drill the holes with
a 13/32" drill bit. Set the Blind Fasteners
in the holes per the INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS FOR BLIND FASTENERS
on page 6.
Realign the Mounting Straps/Mounting Strap
Angles on top of the Blind Fasteners and
secure them to the wall or wall rib using two
to three (2-3) 1/4-20 x 3/4" Hex Head Bolts
and 1/4" Lock Washers.
INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.
660" & 69" SHELF UNITS: Fasten the
Support Leg(s) in the center of the Shelf
using three (3) 1/4-20 x 3/4" Hex Head
Bolts, and 1/4-20 Nylon Lock Nuts.
Return to step 3.
NOTE: If installing doors on these units,
the Support Leg will need to be installed
off-center on the shelf. Positioning of the
Support Leg can easily be found by holding
the door in position on the shelf. The
notched out area of the hinge is where
to locate the Support Leg.
A second leg can also be fastened to the
back of the unit.
NOTE: The Center Support Leg may need
to be trimmed depending on application. If
the Support Leg is cut, remove burrs and
apply paint.

7Insert the Shelf Dividers into the shelf slots.
NOTE: The side panels of the units have
pre-punched holes conveniently located for
installation of accessory items or to fasten
to other shelf units for additional strength.
Extra 1/4-20 x 5/8" bolts and lock nuts have
been provided in the bolt kit for this purpose.
Place a drop of oil on the black oxide bolt before assembling as
shown on right. Place the Blind Fastener in the hole and use a
7/16" wrench to tighten black hex bolt until the Blind Fastener is
fully seated. When setting black hex bolt, it will start out hard.
As the Blind Fastener “bulbs” out it will get easier, until it bottoms
out or sets. Make sure the Blind Fastener and Installation Tool
do not turn during installation.
