•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• MVM Instructions | Page 2 Begin forming the Multi Vehicle Mount by cutting with a tin snips along the solid red line. See picture #1 below. This will give you a fl at surface to work with. Smooth out with a fi le if necessary. Note: You do not want any sharp edges. Continue by drilling two 9/64” holes in the indicated positions with an electric drill while the mount is in the vise. Note: See picture #1 for guid- ance. At this point, your mount should look like the image in picture #2. Continue by placing the mount in a vise and bend along the dotted line as shown in picture #2. Bend the bracket at a near 90 degree angle so that it is fl at along the backside. Note: It is easiest to bend the bracket with your hands, then use a small hammer to fl atten to perfection. After this step, your bracket should look like picture #3 below. When it is bent at a near 90 degree angle, smooth out the edges so there are no sharp points. Use a crackle coated paint if you have damaged any exposed areas. Now go back to Step 3 to continue your installation. 5 6 7 4 Bracketron MVM-45-05 mount is a modifi able mounting bracket.
