Product Information
Full details
This 4-piece set of AB Tools Pedestal Body Mounting Brackets is designed for securely attaching vehicle bodies to chassis, ideal for commercial fleet owners, trailer manufacturers, and individual truck owners. Its primary benefit is the robust construction and durable finish, ensuring long-lasting stability and corrosion resistance. A potential consideration is that it was previously used on specific older models like the Ford Transit and Mercedes Sprinter, so compatibility with very new vehicle designs should be verified. The brackets are manufactured from mild steel with a black powder-coated finish, featuring pre-drilled holes for straightforward installation.

Troubleshooting
Bracket is not aligning with mounting holes.
Double-check the alignment against the chassis and the body. Ensure you are using the correct bracket orientation. If mounting on a different vehicle than originally intended, minor adjustments to mounting holes may be required, or a different bracket style might be necessary.
Fasteners will not tighten securely.
Ensure you are using the correct size and type of fasteners. Verify that the holes/slots are not stripped. Use appropriate washers to distribute the load and prevent damage to the bracket or mounting surface.
Visible rust or corrosion on the bracket.
Clean the affected area with a soft cloth. If the rust is superficial, apply a rust converter and then touch-up paint matching the black powder-coated finish to restore protection.
Bracket appears to be flexing under load.
Confirm that all fasteners are tightened to specification. Ensure the bracket is suitable for the applied load and that the mounting points are structurally sound. Consider if a heavier-duty bracket is required for the application.
