To secure threaded rivet insert, assemble two washers on a 5/16”
-
18 bolt x 1 ½” min. (not included) and
extend bolt through hole in threaded rivet assembly tool. Thread insert on to bolt until tight and place the
threaded rivet insert through the previously drilled hole in the truck bed floor. Grasp threaded rivet
assembly tool tightly (use protective gloves) to keep it from rotating and flush with sheet metal while
tightening bolt with
1/2
“ socket, wrench, or
impact wrench, until threaded rivet insert is fully compressed
(clamped tight on to sheet-metal). Be careful not to overtighten to avoid stripping threads. Unscrew the
bolt when finished and repeat on other side.
Note:
Bolt will be difficult to turn at first, gets easier as rivet insert begins to compress, then very difficult
when fully compressed.
Hint:
When a drop-in liner is present, the liner will need to be raised up so the threaded rivet will clamp
directly to the truck bed sheet metal floor.

To secure your AeroBox™ in
the truck bed, slide it into position, open the door, and insert the thumbscrew
fastener through the drilled hole in the floor. Align thumbscrew with the threaded insert and tighten until
flanged nut bottoms out on AeroBox. Repeat for the other side. In this configuration, the tailgate is used as
an additional constraint and must be closed to fully secure the AeroBox™ when vehicle is in motion.
Note:
Thumb screw comes pre-assembled with a nylock nut with the flanged side pointing toward the
insertion end. The nylock nut can be adjusted up or down, depending on the required clamp range.
Hint:
Adjust the nut so thumb screw extends just a few turns in to the threaded rivet insert when fully
tightened. This will keep the number of rotations required to tighten down box to a minimum, saving you time.
Note:
Fasteners can be tethered to the box with string to keep them from being misplaced.
Warning:
Placing heavy items in the AeroBox™ combined with r
ough terrain and/or heavy braking could result
in your AeroBox™ coming loose and/or damage to the attachment assembly.
If supplied hardware is not
suitable for your situation, alternative hardware can
be used at your discretion to secure the AeroBox™.
