at a later date.
2.) Screw on the basic frame 1 on the left and right at "a" with the M10x1.25x30 screws and the 10.5x20x2 washers. If there are
nuts at "b" on the vehicle side, loosely screw on M10x1.25x30 screws and 10.5x20x2 washers.
Important: Some vehicles can have M8 nuts on the vehicle side. In this case, a set of screws M8x30 (8.8) with washers
8.5x24x2 can be ordered under order no.: 906 270 650 002. The tightening torque is 20 Nm for the M8x30 screws at "a" and
"b".
3.) Loosely attach the supports 2 and 3 to the base part 1 at point "d" using the M12x35 bolts, 12.5x30x3 washers and M12 nuts.
Now loosely attach the supports 2 and 3 to the chassis beam at point "c" using the 13x26x30 wedge discs, 12.5x30x3 washers,
