FAQs
What material are these brackets made from?
The brackets are manufactured from mild steel for strength and durability.
What is the finish on these mounting brackets?
They have a black powder-coated finish for resistance to rust and corrosion.
What are the overall dimensions of one bracket?
Each bracket measures 178mm in total length, 55.5mm in total width, and 94mm in total height.
What size are the mounting holes?
There are two holes with a diameter of 8.5mm and two slots with a diameter of 10.5mm.
Are bolts and nuts included with the brackets?
No, bolts and nuts are not included; they need to be sourced separately based on your specific mounting requirements.
Can these be used on newer model vehicles?
While they are designed for older Ford Transit and Mercedes Sprinter models, their suitability for newer vehicles depends on whether the dimensions and mounting requirements match. It is recommended to measure and compare before purchasing for non-specified models.
How many brackets are included in this listing?
This listing is for a pack of 6 Pedestal Body Mounting Brackets.
Troubleshooting
Bracket does not align with existing holes.
Verify that your vehicle model is compatible (older Ford Transit / Mercedes Sprinter) or if modifications are needed. Check if the pedestal itself has shifted its mounting position. Ensure you are using the correct bracket from the 6-pack if there are subtle variations.
Rust appears on the bracket surface.
This may indicate damage to the powder coating. Clean the affected area and apply a rust-inhibiting metal primer followed by a compatible black enamel paint to protect the exposed steel.
Difficulty securing the bracket tightly.
Ensure you are using appropriate grade bolts and nuts of the correct size (M8 recommended for 8.5mm holes). Make sure the mounting surface on the vehicle is clean and free of obstructions. Do not overtighten, as this can damage the bracket or the vehicle body.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To install the Pedestal Body Mounting Brackets, first identify the appropriate location on the truck or trailer body where the pedestal needs to be secured. Align the bracket's pre-drilled holes and slots with the mounting points on the vehicle. Use suitable M8 bolts and nuts (not included) to fasten the bracket securely to the vehicle body. Then, attach the pedestal component to the mounting bracket using appropriate hardware through the bracket's designated holes.
Compatibility: These brackets are specifically designed for use as pedestal body mounting brackets and are noted to have been previously used on older models of Ford Transit and Mercedes Sprinter vehicles. Users should verify the dimensions (178mm L x 55.5mm W x 94mm H, 8.5mm hole diameter, 10.5mm slot diameter) against their specific application to ensure a proper fit, especially if not working on the listed compatible models.
Care: To maintain the longevity and rust resistance of the brackets, periodically inspect them for any signs of damage or excessive wear. Clean off any dirt, grease, or road salt with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the powder coating. If minor scratches occur, consider using a touch-up paint designed for metal surfaces to prevent rust formation.
