The last
hole in the Up-Tite rail does not attach to the steel bed.
Sheet metal screws and washers are supplied for this spot.
Drill a 1/8 inch pilot hole in the plastic and insert this
screw. This screw is mainly for aesthetic purposes, however,
if the Up-Tite slides are installed first, a washer placed
under the head of this screw will prevent the slides from
backing out and being damaged or lost.
Kits
are available for the John Deere Gator, Kawasaki Mule, Kubota
and others.
