Repair in the Field

The Command Light Traffic Flow Board mounts to the back of the Command light using the top four dust cover holes already in place. To do this, the arrow board housing must be removed first. The bottom housing will be fastened to the Command Light.
Remove the top four screws (10-24 x 3/8) from the dust cover.

Drill out the four holes using a 5/16 drill bit, leaving the dust cover in place. Remove the dust cover and attach the four clip-on nuts to the side panel.

Align the clips with the drilled holes. Place the dustcover back in place with all screws except for the top four. With the dust cover in place, the bottom housing of the Traffic Flow Board is ready to be mounted.
Place the bottom housing on top of the dust cover and use the ¼-20 x ¾ screws to mount it in place.
