3.3 Mounting the U-Bracket
The U-bracket can be used to install the radio on the dashboard or on any
sufficiently flat surface (e.g. cabin floor or trunk). The U-bracket can be
mounted using the self-drilling screws and washers provided in the
installation kit, or nuts and bolts (not included).
Caution Although an industrial-strength recloseable fastening system
can be used to support the installation, for safety reasons Tait does not
recommend this as a mounting option.
Notice When mounting the radio on a surface, check whether the
mounting screws will screw into material providing sufficient strength.
Reinforce the mounting surface, if required.
1. If the U-bracket is being mounted over a curved surface, bend the
tabs at the bottom of the U-bracket slightly to match the surface
shape.
2. Hold the U-bracket in the position chosen for the radio and use the
mounting holes as a template to mark the mounting locations.
Use at least four screws to install the U-bracket.
The screws provided are self-drilling. For more precise positioning, pre-
drill 1/8 inch (3 mm) pilot holes for self-drilling screws. Reduce the
hole size in metal that is less than 1/32 inch (1mm) thick.
Notice Ensure that drilling at the selected points will not damage
existing wiring.
3. Drill any holes required for cables and install suitable grommets or
bushings in the holes.
4. Screw the U-bracket in the chosen mounting position using the self-
drilling screws and washers provided. When tightening the screws,
ensure that this does not distort the U-bracket.
