the transmission hump. Each installation is different, so this must be left to the individual. Consult your dealer or
friends with mobile experience if need be. The brackets can be cut easily and bent as required. The smaller No.
6x3/4 inch screws are for attaching the brackets to the sides or bottom of the transceiver. They will replace the No.
4x1/4 inch screws that came in the transceiver, thus allowing for the 1/8 inch thickness of the bracket. The No. 6
screws will make the brackets more secure than the original No. 4's would. The No. 14 screws are for securing the
brackets to the under side of the dash, or to the transmission hump. No. 10 screws are also furnished in case the
No. 14 screws are too large.
