Full details
This AB Tools Pedestal Body Mounting Bracket is designed for commercial and individual users needing a robust mounting solution for trucks, trailers, and chassis. Its key benefit is its heavy-duty construction from thick mild steel with a protective black powder-coated finish, ensuring maximum strength and resistance to rust and corrosion.

Troubleshooting
Bracket does not fit mounting location.
Verify the measurements of your mounting area against the bracket's dimensions (178mm L x 55.5mm W x 94mm H) and hole/slot sizes. Ensure you are attempting to mount it on a compatible chassis or frame, such as those found on Ford Transit or Mercedes Sprinter models.
Fasteners are not securing the bracket properly.
Use appropriately sized and rated bolts, nuts, and washers for your application. Ensure the holes in the mounting surface are clean and of a suitable diameter. Do not use fasteners that are too small or too large for the bracket's pre-drilled holes.
Rust or corrosion appears on the bracket surface.
While the powder coating offers protection, prolonged exposure to harsh elements can eventually cause corrosion. Clean the affected area thoroughly and apply a rust inhibitor or high-quality paint designed for metal surfaces to prevent further degradation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation involves aligning the pre-drilled holes on the bracket with the desired mounting surface on the truck, trailer, or chassis. Secure the bracket using appropriate fasteners (bolts, nuts, washers – not included) that are rated for the intended load and environmental conditions. Ensure fasteners are tightened securely but avoid over-tightening which could damage the bracket or mounting surface.
Compatibility: This bracket is specifically designed for pedestal mounting and has been used on Ford Transit and Mercedes Sprinter models. Before purchasing, carefully measure your intended mounting area and compare it with the bracket's dimensions (178mm L x 55.5mm W x 94mm H) and hole/slot sizes (Hole diameter: 8.5mm, Slot diameter: 10.5mm) to ensure a proper fit for your specific vehicle or application.
Care: To maintain the bracket's integrity and appearance, periodically inspect it for any signs of damage or wear. Clean the bracket with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. The black powder-coated finish provides inherent protection against rust; however, in highly corrosive environments, consider applying a protective wax or coating during regular vehicle maintenance.
