INSTALLATION
Install Upright Only
1. See Figure 2. Apply masking tape to the outside painted surface of the fender at hole locations (2 and 3). This will protect the painted surface during the drilling operation.
2. Put the fender on a work bench, painted surface down. Use clean, soft cloth between the fender and the work bench to protect the paint finish.
NOTE
Drilling each hole in the fender is a two-step procedure that requires a specific type of drill bit to avoid damaging the fender.
3. Use a 1/2-inch spade bit or 1/2-inch unibit (do not use a spiral-type drill bit) to drill hole(s) from the inside of the fender through the pilot hole boss(es). Stop drilling when the bit pierces the outside surface of the fender.
4. Turn the fender over so the painted surface is now facing up. Complete each hole by using the same 1/2-inch drill bit at each of the pierced hole(s). Clean excess material from the hole(s) and clean the fender surface of any debris.
5. Remove the masking tape from the hole(s).
