Using bolt kit #13, fasten the brackets to the inside of the flanges as in Figure 52B. Put strips of 1-1/2 inch
masking tape on the door ceiling next to the door flange. Close the door and draw a line on the tape along the main body
flange by reaching through the window opening as shown in Figure 52C. Draw these lines on both doors. Measure up
from the edge of the door flange 13-1/8 inches and draw a horizontal line. Next measure 2 inches in from the line just
drawn on the tape and make a vertical line. Locate the bracket by placing the face of the bracket with the single hole
upright and next to the line drawn 1-1/2 inches from the flange line marked on the tape as shown in Figure 53.The center
of the single hole should be even with the horizontal line marked on the door panel. The dimensions for locating the
bracket are shown in the illustration. After locating the bracket as described mark the two holes in the base of the bracket
and drill 3/16-inch holes at the marks. Try to drill holes only in the steel plates, not through the door skin. If you drill
through the door skin, the holes can be patched with body filler and sanded smooth. Now, tap the holes just drilled with a
¼ inch by 20 tap.
Fasten the brackets to the doors using bolt kit #14, as shown in Figure 53B. Bolt the door assist cylinder balls to
the mounted brackets as shown in Figure 53D. Then push the sockets of the cylinders over the balls and install the
locking clip. The large end of the assist cylinder should be attached to the main body as shown.
