The most stable mounting platform is
achieved by making sharp bends and
straight profiles in the flex arm rods not
long bends as shown Note: Making use
of a vise or pipe to help make sharp
bends is recommended.

IMPORTANT!
Before starting the installation, locate the best possible attachment points,
such as seat bolts or any other existing screw, nut or bolt that will provide the
Tri-Pod structural shape. This will make for the most stable mount. If
desired you may drill your own attachment points and use bolts with washers
& nuts or sheet metal screws without nuts
