A-Frame & Ceiling Bracer
Step 1
A-Frame Wall Bracer Installation
The heart of our Interior System is our A-Frame wall bracers and ceiling struts. We have modified how the wall bracers get installed. Please see our additional notes:
- If your ceiling braces (ribs) are not aligned with our centering tool, refer to the video guide below for how to measure and center your ceiling Speed Struts yourself.
- We are no longer using magnets to align the wall bracers. Instead, we use set screws included with your kit.
- If you've used self-tapping set screws to temporarily hold the wall track in place, please remove them once the track is fastened to ensure the L-Track lays flat against the wall bracer.
- Be careful when drilling vertical wall bracer holes that you do not accidentally clip the wiring harness. To avoid this, you can temporarily pull out the electrical harness.
- Do not install your upper wall Thinsulate insulation until after your wiring chase is installed to avoid leaving shavings in the insulation.
