Referring to the end beam drawing on sheet 1, mark the position of the truss rod washers and nuts,<br />
drop grab irons and fix into place using 5-minuit epoxy. Drill a hole part way through end of the side sill and<br />
end beam and install nut-bolt-washer castings. On the prototype, the head of this bolt is hidden under the<br />
first deck plank. Repeat installing the end beam hardware to the other end of the car.<br />
Refer to sheets 3 and 4 for locations of the 6 per side cast stake pockets. While supporting your car on<br />
its side, epoxy the stake pockets in place, they should rest up against the decking planks. Continue<br />
installing the pockets on the other side of the car. Mark the position of the four side sill mounted steps, as<br />
shown in the above photo. Depending on the manufacture, the steps may have nuts and bolts cast on the<br />
mounting ends of these steps. These Ozark strap steps only have pre-drilled holes for nut/bolt/washer<br />
separate castings. As these steps are subject to unavoidable accidents, I have replaced two of the NBW<br />
castings on each bracket with brass bolts for extra strength. This is an option only.
