FOOT BRACKETS Mounting the Foot Brackets is the first step. You will need to first pry o the access covers on the roof of your van to reveal the access holes. Some vans require some clearance to be made in the access holes due to build tolerance from Ford Factory (shown right).
SIDE RAIL ASSEMBLY Next you need to put together both Side Rail Assemblies. Three 34” Weldments need to be mated together as shown below. Page 7 shows details views and hardware used. We recommend putting these together on a larger flat table, or spreading out the cardboard from your shipping box.

MOUNTING SIDE RAILS TO ROOF In this step you’ll be mounting the Side Rail Assemblies to the REAR roof of the van. It is very helpful to have multiple ladders and someone else to help, but this can be done by one person, carefully.

ATTACHING SUPPORT FEET The Support Feet are necessary on the Transit Mid Roof due to the distance span from the forward most Foot Bracket and the front of the rack. Assemble both the Passenger and Driver Side Support Brackets using the 4 each 3/8-16 x 1 Button Head Hex Drive Screws, 3/8 Screw Flat Washers, and 3/8-16 Nylon Insert Locknuts, leaving the hardware loose enough to slide the two pieces for adjustment, and then mount them to the Safari Rack in the location shown below.

MOUNTING CROSSBARS DETAIL G Once you’ve got both weldment ends tightened; it’s time to start 1/4-20 X 0.75 FLANGED HEX laying down your crossbars. We’ve provided dimensions below to HEAD SCREW make it easy. Make sure you verify the dimension on both ends of the crossbar relative to the Reference Point to ensure they are square.

AWNING MOUNTS This step is only necessary if you are mounting a Fiamma F45 (or similar) awning to your Safari Rack. If you are not mounting an awning, skip this step. You will mount the 3 Awning Brackets to the underside of the Passenger Side of the rack as shown to the right.
Page 14
LADDER BRACKET Same as the awning brackets; this step is only necessary if you are mounting an FVC Side Ladder to your van. The reference dimension for mounting is shown in the diagram on the previous page. The Ladder Bracket uses the same hardware as the Awning Mounts, and it attaches in the same way.
