Brief Guideline

  1. Lean buttress stands at a 50 to 70 degree angle with special chain grab end fittings against each rear fender.

  2. Hook large J-hook with chain to sidewall at rear side glass or come through rear window and hook rear post or hook rear speaker deck through rear window. Run chain up to chain grab fitting. Chain should nest in slot on end fitting. Secure chain to end fitting with lock-pin. Keep chain length between J-hook and chain grab as short as possible.

  3. Note: this step may not be necessary. Tighten slack and pull end fittings to fender using a ratchet strap from one end of chain to other end of chain at undercarriage. Keep strap protected from hot and/or sharp objects. Use lock pin to shorten chain and form chain loop to extend over hot exhaustStep

  4. If necessary, restrain chain to restrict end fitting from sliding on fender.

  5. Attach a ratchet strap at bases and tighten. Situation may require base stakes or other supplemental base restraints.

  6. Place wedges or similar in front of each ‘A’ post.

If a third stand is desired at the rear center of the vehicle, it may be added at any time. In this case the straps of the third stand may be attached to the bases of the fender stands. In addition to the fender stands being strapped to each other, straps would be run from the fender stand bases up to the front of the vehicle. This configuration would keep the passenger compartment free from strap attachment.
