Mounting Bracket

Notice that the brackets are drilled universally and will have two unused holes
when mounted. Mount the rear air controls to the video console with two of
the supplied #8x1/2” sheet metal screws, through the holes in the video
console and into the metal brackets.
The color matched filler plate is used in the event the console was not
equipped with rear air controls. Install the filler plate from the inside and
secure with the (2) supplied #8 x 1/2” sheet metal screws.
To reinstall the rear radio control unit enlarge the four holes in the mounting
tabs to 3/16”. Install the four supplied metal inserts into the mounting tabs.

instructions provided with electronic equipment.

Installation of Video Console

Install the supplied mounting brackets to the
factory console(refer to picture at right). Secure
the mounting brackets to the mounting tab using
the supplied #8 x 1/2” sheet metal screws through
the bracket and into the factory speed clip. Notice
that the mounting brackets are mirror images of
each other and therefore have to be installed on
their respective sides of the console.
Make all electrical connections, including rear radio
controls and the rear air controls (if equipped). Slide the video console
onto the back of the factory console, making sure that it is as far down as
possible. Mark and pre-drill a 3/32” hole in the console using pre-drilled hole in
the upper part of the video housing as a guide. Secure the video housing to
the console using the (4) supplied #8 x 1/2” sheet metal screws.
