4. Attach the modified left and right side brackets. Attach ISO spacers to the inside upper sections on both left and right side brackets. (Refer to kit instructions for more information).
Slide the ELEV8 assembly into the the kit. Ad-just depth and angle to desired position. Use four #10 X 3/8 coarse thread screws, includ-ed in the ELEV8 harware pack, to attach radio mounting bracket to side brackets. Two screws per side. FIG E
Note: There are multiple mounting holes on the mounting bracket and side brackets to allow adjustment and alignment. If needed, you may drill additional holes in the mount-ing bracket and/or the dash kit brackets to align and secure the display in the best position.
