Unlike the Fiamma variety the Omnistor brackets come with NOTHING in the way of fixings.
Improvisation seems to be the order of the day.
I decided to use large flange button headed 6mm stainless steel set screws.
I chose a mounting position for each and drilled through the van sides 5mm holes.
My rear mount already has steel on the inside as part of the construction so I tapped this 6mm
I then opened the holes in the brackets out to 6mm. Cleaned all surfaces and applied any old Sikaflex leftovers.
Not just tapped but nylock nuts too
At the front having had to remove the batteries and trays I used a pre made bracket from B&Q as suitable steel
THERE IS NO NEED to overtighten ! enough is enough. The 6mm tapped studs take all the strain.
