evenly as possible between the outer mounting locations.  Locations must match the frame location pattern.  
If using the optional roof top mounting brackets, adjust the pattern to match the bracket mounting holes. 

7.  On the mounting plate drill 7/16” holes at the marks made in the previous step.  The grooves in the
