CAUTION: The following images are offered as a guide only.

When drilling bolt holes in the timber beams, it is recommended marking them in position and THEN REMOVING THE BEAM from the Pontoonz Pod for drilling. Drilling the hole whilst located in position MAY RESULT in drilling into the pod plastic thereby causing serious damage. (Plastic thickness at these points is 5mm nominal)

12mm bolts are recommended. Use 12.5mm Drill bit.
15mm plastic hose can be used as sheathing insert between Pod Bolt hole (16mm) and bolt.
