Hold mount where you

would like it on the rear

Aka bar making sure the

top of the mount is com-

pletely level. We recom-

mend that the Swivel Cam

Cleat is mounted 4 inches

from inside end of the Aka

bar. (FIG 10)

Secure the Swivel Cam

Cleat Mount using the

provided 1.5’’ self-drilling

screw through the center

hole of the side with three

holes. Do not screw in any

other screws. (FIG 10)

Place the Swivel Cam Cleat

on top of the Mount with the

three holes lining up with

the three unused holes on

the mount. Screw in a 1.5’’

self-drilling screw through

the opposite center hole

on the top of the Swivel

Cam Cleat. This screw will

penetrate the Swivel Cam

Cleat, the mount, and go

into the Aka bar.

5/8’’ screws into the two

remaining holes. (FIG 11)
