5.3.1 Load Compartment Interior
Lining
Do not damage the lock or latch system
(electrical cables, release system) when applying
interior lining.
WARNING: Plan fixing points for
other fitments such as racking to
ensure through bolting can be
achieved. Fixing to the lining
material may be inadequate for
normal safe operation of the vehicle.
The additional weight of the linings on doors may
require additional reinforcements to the door and
pillar at the hinge and check mechanism.
5.3.2 Security, Anti Theft and
Locking System Security
NOTE: It is not recommended to alter the
locking system.
However, in case a modification is required for
the conversions, please consult the Vehicle
Converter Advisory Service [email protected].
To avoid locking system security complications,
it is recommended to discuss with the local Ford
dealer prior to modifications taking place.
The Central Junction Box is designed to work
specifically with the Ford Transit lock and latch
mechanisms and therefore drives latches to lock
and unlock for specific time periods. Additional
power locking functionality should be based
around the use of additional Ford Transit latch
mechanisms. Additional latches can be driven
via relays connected in parallel with existing
latches.
On Chassis Cabs fitted with a high-level
Passenger Junction Box, the cargo door latch
driver is not used by the base vehicle and can
be used by Body Builders wishing to add power
locking capability to the vehicle load space. This
latch can be controlled via the driver's door key
barrel or the cargo unlock button on the remote
key fob (dependent on vehicle configuration).
The following figures outline the areas in which
it is not advisable to drill:

recommended to fix the seat frame at three
locations as shown in the following Figure

for Cab Van Floor seat frame fixings on top and
underneath the floor. Fixings should be carried
out as U-type bracket clinching the cross beam.
