Make two small recesses on the underside of the plastic part of the running board, as indicated in
detail 1a.
Check that the fastening bolts of the running board are mounted with the bolt head on the inside of
the chassis beam, so that the spacer sleeves to be fitted can pass.
On the top of the chassis, at "A", remove the fastening bolt from the superstructure (see also
details 2 and 3).
3. Drilling holes in the chassis beam
For Delivery Van type, all versions except 3950 wheelbase (see detail 2):
For mounting of the two side plates "1" and "2", a number of must be drilled. Proceed as follows.
The holes "B", "D" and "E" are already present in the bottom flange of the chassis beam.
Mount plate "1", together with one of the counterplates "3", at the holes "B" and "D".
Mark the holes "A" and "C" on the underside of the chassis beam with a 12 mm drill. Remove plate
"1".
Drill the holes "A" and "C" through the bottom flange of the chassis beam.
Now mount the top counterplate "3", together with the spacer sleeve "4", at hole "A" in the existing
hole in the superstructure. Ensure that counterplate "3" is in line with the chassis beam for the
purpose of correct alignment of the holes.
Now drill the holes "C" and "E" through to the top flange of the chassis beam with a 12 mm drill with
a minimum length of 150 mm.
Repeat this procedure for the right-hand side.
