Step Two
For vehicles without factory bow pockets, measure 28 3/4" and 30 3/4" along
the top edge of the body from the rear corner. Mark these locations with a
pencil. Center punch and drill a 3/8" hole in each location. Secure the front
hole in the Bow Mount with a 5/16-18 x 1" Phillips Head Bolt, a 5/16" Washer
and a 5/16" Tapping Plate. Once the front hole is secure, raise the bow
assembly up and secure the rear hole in the mount.
Caution: When drilling in the top edge of the
vehicle body, check underneath for wiring
for the rear lights. Pull the wiring out of the
way before drilling.
Note: It may be helpful to have two
people so that one person can support
the bow halves while they are installed.
For vehicles with factory bow pockets, use the Bow Mounts
as templates. Center the Bow Mounts over the tubes in the
vehicle body. Mark, enter punch and drill 3/8" holes. Install
the Bow Assembly as shown, substituting 5/16-18 Nuts for
the Tapping Plates.
