cut the tub track (A) 1/16” short of these dimensions.

Step 1b.

.
Use a level to plumb both wall jambs (B), then mark the
pre-drilled hole locations on the wall. You can use a center punch
or pencil.
Lightly mark along both sides of the tub track (A) with a pencil.
Remove all parts and drill the walls using a 3/16” drill bit (for tile or
marble use 3/16” masonry bit). Insert wall anchors (C) into holes.
Step 2a.
.
Position the tub track in the center of the tub rim with
the tall leg facing the exterior. It may be necessary to file a
radius on the ends of the tub track and wall jambs to match
the corners of the tub.
Press both wall jambs (B) into position over the tub track.
Masking tape can be used to temporarily hold parts in place.
Note:
Attachments to fiberglass or acrylic can be made in two ways:
if reinforcement is built into the wall of the unit, drill six 1/8” diameter
holes and install the screws directly into the reinforcement.
If wall is not reinforced, drill 3/16” holes and install
plastic wall anchors (C).
