G. Hold one end of the grab bar on the installed mounting
bracket and align the center of the other end of the grab bar
flange with the stud centerline on the fiberglass wall (Pic. 5)
H. Keeping the grab bar in place, draw a line around the mounting
flange to show approximate location of the next mounting bracket
