Fitting the static floor anchorage
Fit and use
1.
Mark out the chosen floor anchor positions.
2.
Drill an 11mm diameter hole through the finished floor, ply and steel flooring
.
3.
From the top surface of the floor, counter bore the 11mm dia. hole to a diameter of
35mm and a depth of 13mm.
4.
Clear the debris and install the floor anchors as shown in Fig 3, with the anchor slot
orientated as shown in Fig 4. Tighten to a torque of 25-30Nm from underneath,
using the nut and underfloor spreader plate.
5.
If you need to modify the spreader plate to clear an obstruction, always leave as
much material as possible around the bolt hole. Any modification must be made
such that the original load spreading properties are retained. Further reinforcement
may be required to meet minimum vehicle strength recommendations. Contact
the vehicle manufacturer for further advice.
6. Note:
It may be necessary to provide fillers between the vehicle floor convolutions
to prevent these from being crushed when tightening up on the nut/cap screw.
7.
It is recommended that some type of body sealant or foam fill be used between the
under floor spreader plate and the vehicle under side to prevent ingress of water
and subsequent damage.
It is essential that the slot in each floor anchor is orientated as shown in Fig. 4
