Carefully remove the handbrake cover. Trim the cover as needed: For View/Navion models, follow the cut shown in Figure 12. For standard passenger or cargo vans, a small trim (approx. 1 inch) is typically sufficient to clear the fire extinguisher bracket. Reinstall the handbrake cover onto the handbrake assembly once trimming is complete. Step 2: Install the Relocation Bracket Using a 5mm Allen wrench or socket, install the two taper-head bolts and the relocation bracket (see Figure 13). The tapered end of the bracket should face the rear of the vehicle. If bolt holes do not line up with the factory threads, you may need to drill out the tapered holes on the relocation bracket. Reinstall the handbrake assembly onto the relocation bracket using the original 13mm bolts. Note: If the bolts bottom out, add a washer spacer to prevent overtightening. Be cautious to avoid cross-threading. If bolts won’t thread cleanly, remove the assembly and die grind the mounting holes as needed. Reinstall the brake cable pin and access cover. Step 3: Adjust the Handbrake Cables After repositioning the handbrake assembly, the cables will require adjustment. Start by releasing the handbrake. Locate the handbrake adjustment assembly underneath the van, just in front of the rear axle (see Figure 14). Using a 13mm socket and short extension, loosen the four mounting bolts (see Figure 15). Slide the housing rearward (toward the back of the van, Figure 16) and retighten the bolts. To adjust the rear brake cables: Loosen the set bolt with a 13mm socket and short extension (Figure 17). Rotate the cam plate ½” to ¾” clockwise (Figure 18), then tighten the bolt. Test the handbrake by engaging and releasing it. Ensure the van rolls freely in neutral with the brake released. Re-adjust if necessary. Step 4: Modify the Pedestal Cover (if applicable) Remove the pressboard pedestal cover and mark a line 2.87″ from its rear edge. Cut the board in two along the marked line (Figure 7). Place the smaller section across the front portion of the seat pedestal. Proceed to install the swivel base and seat, following passenger-side installation instructions. Be sure to pull the seatbelt wiring connector through the center swivel opening and reconnect it to the seat harness (Figure 8   t1n-2001-2006-Sprinter-Van-brake-adapter-for-seat-swivels-installation
