There are two ways to install and attach the Console and File Box Kits to the vehicle floor.
The first requires drilling holes into the vehicle floor, the second uses the existing seat bolts:

#1 - The Console and File boxes can be attached directly to the vehicle floor.
Mounting holes are provided in the bottom of each.
(Customer to supply nescessary hardware).

The height and angle of the Console Box can be adjusted if needed, to allow 2.4" of vertical
adjustment or to compensate for an uneven vehicle floor, by removing the (4) .25-20 x .50
Button Head Screws from the sides of the Console Box, repositioning the slots on the
Console Box with the threaded inserts on the Console Base and reinstalling the Button Head
Screws. See Fig 3.

Position the Workstation in vehicle.
Depending on vehicle used and desired location, a center console or seat section may need
to be removed.

Check that the location chosen does not interfere with the proper operation of or cause damage
to - wiring, fuel or hydraulic lines, the exhaust system or drive train components and vehicle
controls like gear shift lever, airbag sensors or airbag deployment zone.

Using the Console and File Box as templates, mark the mounting hole location on the
vehicle floor.
Drill mounting holes thru vehicle floor.
.25-20 grade 5 bolts, flat washers, lock washers and hex nuts are recommended.

#2 - If drilling into the vehicle floor is not possible, the Console and File Box may also be
attached to a Gamber-Johnson MCS Long or Short Top Plate & Vehicle Specific Leg kit.

Check with Gamber-Johnson if a Vehicle Leg kit and Top Plate are available for your
application.
Leg kits are typically installed by removing one or two of the bolts securing the driver and
passenger seats, inserting leg kit between seat bracket and vehicle floor, reinstalling the
seat bolts.
Specific instructions are supplied with each leg kit.

The Console and File Box are then bolted to the Top Plate using .25-20 x 1.00 Carriage Bolts,
.25 Lock Washers, .25-20 Hex Nuts.
